Every fabricator on Gage is on a clock.

Once you accept a quote, your matched fabricator has 48 hours to confirm the job. If they don't respond — the lead automatically moves to the next nearest fabricator in their region.

No more chasing. No more radio silence three weeks into a project. The fabricators on Gage show up because if they don't, someone else gets the work.
