RFPs from active managers

Free. Genuinely, unconditionally free.

Listing your business costs nothing. Responding to RFPs costs nothing. When you win work, we take nothing. There are no setup fees, no monthly subscriptions required to be visible, and no commissions — ever. The only way to spend money here is if you choose to, for features you don't need on day one.

If you want it: a paid Insights tier unlocks your profile analytics (views, RFP conversion rate, how you rank against similar vendors), priority placement in search results, and access to invite-only RFPs where the manager has pre-selected a shortlist. Upgrade when the ROI is obvious — not before.

The RFPs come to you. Already scoped.

Strata managers are busy. When they post an RFP on OurCommons they include the scope, the building details, the timeline, and a budget bracket. You're not guessing what the job is — you're responding to a clear brief. A built-in Q&A thread means one answer goes to every vendor, not ten individual phone calls.

Show the technical detail

The RFP system auto-populates building data (lot count, age, building classification) from the manager's records so you get context that's normally buried in a phone call. Proposals you submit are reviewed directly by the managing agent and submitted to the strata committee for approval — no intermediary, no margin clip.

Every lead is a managed building, not a cold number.

The people posting RFPs are licensed strata managers actively running buildings right now. They're not browsing — they have a job to fill and a committee waiting for a recommendation. The volume is smaller than a lead-gen platform. The quality is higher.

Show the technical detail

OurCommons covers strata schemes across NSW, VIC and QLD. Every building in the system is a real, registered strata scheme under active management. Vendors can filter incoming RFPs by state, category, and job size. No wasted quotes on buildings you don't service.

Want more? Unlock insights when it makes sense.

The free tier gets you in front of every active manager. The paid Insights tier shows you what's happening behind the scenes: how many managers have viewed your profile, your quote win rate, how you compare to similar vendors, and which categories are seeing the most activity in your area. Upgrade when the data tells you to.

Show the technical detail

Insights tier also unlocks priority placement in category search results, early access to new RFP categories, and a verified badge that signals to managers your credentials have been reviewed. Pricing is per month, cancel any time — there is no annual lock-in.

How it works

Three steps. Five minutes.

01

Create your free profile.

Add your business name, trade category, service area, and contact details. Upload your licence and any relevant certifications. Takes five minutes. No credit card.

02

Receive structured RFPs.

When a strata manager needs your trade, they post an RFP to vendors in your category and region. You get notified. You read the brief. You decide whether to respond — no obligation.

03

Win work. Keep every dollar.

Submit your proposal through the platform. The manager reviews it alongside any other responses, recommends the best to their committee, and the committee approves. If that's you, the job is yours — in full.
