Reviews for primes
The review you write todayis sitting next to their number.
After the job, you score the company that did the work. That file is on the bid the next time they show up. Keep it internal, Share this review with them, or Make this review public so other companies on KNTRCTR can see Market Reviews.
Your choice
Keep it internal.Share it. Or publish the scores.
Nothing is public unless you mark it public. Internal is still useful. It is Your Reviews on the next bid. Share this review with the company lets them read the writing after both sides submit. Make this review public puts scores on Market Reviews. Comments do not ride along with the public average.
- Internal: your estimators still see it the next time this name bids.
- Shared: they can read the comments. A Free Bidder account has to subscribe to open the full writing.
- Public: other primes see the market average. Not your paragraph.

- You can access a sub's reviews anytime from the Network page, on their profile.
- You can export the Performance record on the job if you want a file outside KNTRCTR.

Additional Comments
Crew had the right tickets on day one and kept Harbour St traffic moving. Restoration matched the drawing. They flagged the valve delay early and worked around it.

FAQ
How primes write and keep reviews.
How do reviews work?
After a job is completed, both parties are asked to leave a review.
As the lead contractor, you choose whether your review stays internal to your company or rolls into that subcontractor's public score on KNTRCTR. Making it public does not publish your full written review for everyone to read; it feeds into their average so other companies hiring or working with that company can see how they are rated overall.
Subcontractors who subscribe can open that shared written feedback, and they get Rex AI on the draft so they can check the next bid before they send.

When does review editing get locked?
Review editing is locked once both parties submit their reviews, or when 90 days have passed from the review request date.
After lock, you can still contact KNTRCTR support to request a temporary unlock for corrections.
Can I export the reviews my company left on subcontractors?
Yes. Peer reviews are part of each job’s exportable record, so you can keep a copy outside KNTRCTR.
Open the job from your dashboard. Near the bottom of the job page, use Export Excel or Export PDF (available to your company’s management team on that job).
In the download, open the Performance section. It includes completed peer reviews for that job—who reviewed whom, overall rating, written comments, and review status—plus any manual bidder reviews tied to that job.
Export job by job when you want an offline archive of how you rated the companies you worked with. Your company still controls what stays internal vs. what contributes to a subcontractor’s public score on KNTRCTR.
Score the job.Keep the name.
The review is the piece KNTRCTR hangs its hat on. Private file, shared writing, or network scores. The next bid does not start from a blank.
