Starting in the Triangle

The Cercha beta is open in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle first. Builders, trades, and suppliers can request access for this first market. Other markets open one at a time.

Why we call it Cercha

“Armadura que sostiene la cubierta de un edificio.”

Real Academia Española, cercha, sense 2: The framework that holds up a building’s roof.

Roof truss with top chord, webs, and bottom chord labeledTop chordWebsBottom chord

Cercha is Spanish for truss. The name reflects the people whose different work comes together in a house: builders, trades, crews, and suppliers.

Credentials, with the fine print

Profiles can show license and insurance badges. Coverage information may not reflect changes reported within the last 30 days; verify directly with the employer or insurer. Check licenses with the relevant board.
