You can choose fixed-rate or hourly jobs when you post your work on Cad Crowd.
You can post a fixed-rate job, and the expert will be paid a fixed-rate fee to complete your work.
How fixed-rate jobs work
Hiring an expert for a fixed-rate job involves the following:
- Invite experts: Invite experts to provide quotes for your job.
- Budget: Discuss your budget with the expert (minimum $25.00 USD).
- Milestones: You and the expert will agree to payment milestones. You can use one payment milestone for the entire job or break the work into several milestones when specific tasks are complete.
- Escrow: When making payments, you deposit funds for job milestones into the Cad Crowd escrow system. The escrow account allows you to review and approve the expert’s work before you release payment.
- Note: If the work on a specific milestone hasn’t started, you can remove or edit milestones to revise the scope of your work deliverables.
Fixed-rate billing schedule
When you start a fixed-rate job, your account is billed for the first milestone, and the payment is held in the escrow system. Once you approve the work, the payment is released from escrow into the expert’s account. Once the expert submits work, you are given 14 days to accept delivery or request revisions.
