How to Check the Status of Your Offers and What Each Status Means

Written by Cody T

When you place an offer on a public work order, you can track everything from your My Work Orders page in the HeyPros app. Each work order will appear under one of five statuses. Understanding what these mean helps you know where your offers stand and what to expect next.


Available

These are open public work orders you can still bid on.

If a work order is listed under Available, you have not placed an offer yet.
Jobs in this tab move quickly, so it is important to check back often.


Bidding

These are work orders where you have already submitted an offer, but the company has not made a decision yet.

You stay in this tab until one of the following happens:

  • your offer is accepted

  • the GC awards the job to another sub

  • the GC cancels or updates the work order

It is normal to remain in Bidding for a while. Some companies review offers right away, and others wait to collect multiple bids.


In Progress

Your offer was accepted and the job is now yours.

Work orders appear in this tab when:

  • the GC has officially awarded the job to you

  • you are expected to complete the work according to the dates and scope

  • you can now upload photos, communicate with the GC, and submit invoices

Always read the full description and double check instructions before starting the job.


Done

These are jobs you have fully completed and invoiced.

A work order moves to Done when:

  • you completed all required steps

  • you submitted your final invoice

  • the GC marked the job as finished on their end

This tab acts as your job history inside HeyPros.


Lost

These are work orders where:

  • the GC awarded the job to another subcontractor

  • the job was canceled before a decision was made

  • the job was removed or reposted with different details

Seeing a job in Lost does not mean your offer was bad.
Companies choose subs based on:

  • scheduling

  • availability

  • previous work history

  • location

  • internal preferences

Keep submitting offers. Subs who stay consistent typically start winning jobs as companies get familiar with them.


Summary

Your My Work Orders page makes it easy to see the status of every job you have interacted with. Checking these tabs regularly helps you stay organized, follow active jobs, and understand what happened with the offers you placed.
