BuildForce
Research summary, run 1 (2026-11-02): BuildForce is a staffing platform that matches electricians with electrical contractors, tracks their attendance and hours through a worker app, and offers payroll and certified payroll reporting. Its public pages describe operations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona and Colorado. Business model: staffing. Variation from the standard: Operates similarly to a construction staffing firm but adds worker data tracking (attendance, reviews, GPS time-tracking), per the FAQ on the homepage. Variation from the standard: Describes a 'Buildforce Marketplace' launched in 2022 alongside its staffing operations; the marketplace mechanics are not described in the pages read. Variation from the standard: Worker-facing and contractor-facing products are both offered; the 'Find Work' job board is public and lists per-diem and hourly commercial electrical roles. Variation from the standard: Pages do not state whether Buildforce is the employer of record for placed electricians; the pages say it 'employed' workers and runs certified payroll, which implies an employer role for at least some placements. • All evidence comes from marketing and public job pages. No internal console, client portal screens, integrations, or back-office payment systems are visible, so those primitives are left unmapped. • Worker counts (6,100+ workers employed, 1200+ projects) are company-reported claims on the About page and were not verified. • sizeBand is null because no headcount for BuildForce staff is given. • Pages are dated around October 2026 in job postings; the copyright is 2025. Job listings may be stale. • Quotes containing HTML apostrophes (') were avoided to keep them exact; some quotes are truncated at a natural boundary.
