What does a DPOC job actually pay?

A representative landscaping & hardscape model of 1,000 sq ft produces a homeowner planning midpoint of $18,801. DPOC's modeled retained share is 30.7%, the fixed modeled provider payout is $13,021, and after $4,167 of materials and $4,054 the model leaves $4,800 — about $72 an hour effective. This is a deterministic planning example, not a posted job or final contract.

Does DPOC charge lead fees?

No. DPOC does not charge providers to apply, see the board, open a matched opportunity, or decline it. A disclosed retained share applies only to accepted, completed work under the applicable written terms. DPOC does not guarantee job volume or earnings.

DPOC for crews

The job is priced before you see it.

Q: Do I need my own contractor licence?

For any regulated scope, the responsible provider must have the current licence, registration, classification, or other authority required for that job and jurisdiction. A DPOC licence may be used only after the correctly named DPOC entity holds the applicable authority and that path is approved. A non-construction scope still needs a current written determination and insurance. Authority status never changes the fixed provider payout or DPOC retained share.

DPOC produces a planning estimate and coordinates the record. The responsible provider and its authority are identified before the customer contracts. You see the proposed scope and economics before deciding whether to claim it. No paid lead unlock and nothing to pay to inspect or decline a matched opportunity. Providers can apply from anywhere in the United States across 25 services. Actual opportunities depend on local customer demand and reviewed provider coverage.

What the work pays

One representative scope, all the way down.

A representative landscaping & hardscape planning model — 1,000 sq ft, with a homeowner midpoint at $18,801. Every line below comes out of the same engine used to model provider payouts. It is an instant estimate, not a final contract: a real opportunity still moves with site confirmation and written terms.

Homeowner pays: $18,801; Agreed before the job ever reaches the board.
DPOC retained share (30.7%): −$5,780; Disclosed with the scope before acceptance; never charged for a shared contact.
Your payout: $13,021; Fixed for the validated scope and disclosed before acceptance.
Materials & disposal: −$4,167; Estimated from the trade's own rate table.
Labor — 124 hrs, crew of 3: −$4,054; What you pay the people swinging the tools.
Left over: $4,800; About $72 an hour effective across 5.1 crew-days.

Performance tiers

Build priority, not a different payout formula.

Starter, Verified, Pro, and Elite recognize completed jobs, rating, callback rate, response time, and documentation. They can affect matching priority and which scopes you are considered for. They do not change the fixed payout for the same validated scope.

Fixed first: The scope and dollar payout are shown before you accept.
Quality counts: A stronger record can improve priority when fit and eligibility are equal.
Money stays neutral: Tier, risk label, and authority path never reduce that scope's payout.

Licensing

Every scope needs a current authorization path.

A regulated scope can be claimed only when the responsible provider has the current licence, registration, classification, or other authority required by that state and locality. Future work may use DPOC authority only after the correctly named DPOC entity holds the applicable authority and that exact path is approved. Cleaning, hauling, washing, and other non-construction scopes still require insurance and a time-bounded written determination for the exact jurisdiction; the site does not declare whole categories exempt. Authority status never changes the fixed provider payout or DPOC retained share.
