Neighbor share

Group nearby jobs to split the cost of moving heavy equipment in. Matching is coming soon.

Why it can save money

Heavy equipment is expensive to move. On a small rural job, the move-in charge can be a large share of the bill. Grouping nearby jobs means one haul instead of three.

How to ask for it

On the quote form, check "Willing to group with neighbors."
Ask each pro for the mobilization fee as a separate line.
If you know neighbors who need work, send requests to the same pro and mention each other.

Coming soon: automatic matching with nearby requests isn't built yet. Today the checkbox just tells the pro you're open to it.

EXAMPLE Made-up numbers to show the idea.

Three neighbors on one road

	Alone	Grouped
Mobilization (example)	$1,200 each	$1,200 split 3 ways = $400 each
Work itself	Same	Same

Example only. Real fees depend on the pro, distance, and equipment, and some pros won't split them.

Questions

What is a mobilization fee?

It's what a contractor charges to load equipment, haul it to your land (often on a lowboy trailer), set up, and haul it back. It's often a flat fee or a per-mile charge, and it can be a big part of a small job's price. Ask for it as its own line on the quote.

How does sharing work?

If neighbors near you need similar work, one crew can do several jobs on one trip, and the move-in cost can be split. Each landowner still gets their own written quote and contract.

Will you share my address?

No. In the planned version, we'd only tell neighbors that someone nearby wants to group, and only connect you if both sides agree.
