Remote contractor consulting — get paid for the walkthrough, not the drive
You already give away thousands of dollars of judgement for free: the walkthrough, the phone call about whether that wall is load-bearing, the read on someone else's quote. On Buzznow that judgement is the product, billed by the minute.

Questions
General contractor, answered
Is this competing with my own business?
It's the part of your business nobody pays for today. Many contractors use remote consults as a paid filter before a real site visit.
Can I take clients outside my state?
Yes — you're consulting, not building. Local code specifics are one of the things you flag.
Why is the rate higher for contractors?
Rates track what the market pays for the expertise. Contractor judgement on a $40,000 renovation is worth more per minute than almost anything else on the platform.
