Reliability
Do they turn up to the work they accept? Accepting and then not showing is what counts against a worker most.
Quality
How the work and general performance were rated by the contractors who booked them.
Attendance
The physical record: check-ins at the gate, not a timesheet filled in later.
Recent by design
Reputation runs on a rolling window, so a rough month fades, and so does a great one.
Help contractors trust the workers who show up and deliver.
On Buildpal, reputation is built from real, verified work: whether a worker turns up, how the work is rated, and attendance recorded at the gate. It's a record the worker owns and carries from one site to the next, and a signal contractors can trust before they book.
The questions reputation answers.
How does a reliable worker stand out from the rest?
Why should showing up, every time, actually count for something?
How do I judge a worker I've never worked with before?
Do workers have a way to build trust beyond personal referrals?
A record of proven work a worker owns and carries from site to site, built on turning up, quality and attendance.
Every booking leaves a record: whether the worker showed up, how the work and performance were rated, and the attendance logged at the gate. Buildpal turns that into a reputation score and a tier, a record workers build with every shift, and a signal contractors can rely on.
Four tiers. A record, not a ranking of skill.
Tiers run from 1 to 4. A Tier 4 carpenter is more proven and reliable than a Tier 2. Tiers reflect how consistently a worker delivers on-site and on Buildpal. Earned on turning up, quality of work, and attendance.
Most proven
The strongest, most consistent record on the platform.
Trusted
A sustained track record across bookings, reliable and well rated.
Established
A steady early record of accepting work, professionalism, performance, and showing up for it.
Verified
Identity, trade, and skills have been verified on site. The record starts here.
The higher your tier, the more trust you have in the marketplace, and the more you earn as a premium on your pay, so the same job pays more.
A higher tier means a more proven worker: a reputation of reliability and excellent performance in quality of work and productivity. An indicator of what you value most.
What shapes your reputation.

A reputation that works both ways.
Built on verified work, so good workers rise and contractors book with confidence.
- Judge a worker on a real record of turning up and doing good work, not a gut feel or unverified claims from refe.
- See how proven someone is before you book them.
- Call on your most proven workers when the job can't afford a no-show.
- Build a reputation from the work you've actually done.
- Carry it with you, it's yours, from one site to the next.
- Rise through the tiers to prove your worth, grow your career, and earn more.

Good questions.
Your tier is a record of how consistently you deliver on Buildpal: turning up, quality of work, discipline, productivity, rating, and attendance. It is not just a judgement of your craft. But an indicator of your value to the marketplace as a reliable worker who delivers. Your tier is measured against weighted factors from your record.
There are a few things that contribute to your reputation: whether you turn up to work you accepted, how your performance is rated, your attendance recorded at the gate, safety & conduct, and your overall market trust (rating).
No. Reputation runs on a rolling window, so recent work matters most and older records fade. One rough patch doesn't follow you forever, and neither does one good one.
No. A short record is held toward the middle until there's enough to be sure, and a tier can't swing week to week. Your standing has to be earned before it moves far.
Yes. Ratings go through moderation and you can dispute one. Abusive, personal, or retaliatory reviews are removed rather than counted.
Yes. A more proven worker earns a tier premium on the published rate, more for the same work, and is offered work sooner.
Reputation helps reliable workers stand out and helps contractors reduce uncertainty.
