For builders
Apply to build with NW.
You keep 98% of the build price; NW’s 2% is the operating fee, deducted inside the price rather than added to it. Entry comes three ways — degree, experience, portfolio — and the certificate is a credential that follows, not a barrier you clear first.
What happens next is a person reading this, checking the work against the same written standard, and replying either with a start date or with a reason. A rejection is not a form letter.
