Using Classipress as a membership site... is it possible?

Hi all. I am looking to create a site for a client that will allow for consumers to post "want ads" regarding work they want to have done on their homes... for example if somebody needs to have their roof re-shingled they can post the specifications of the job.

I need these consumers to post the jobs for free. I then need to have "members" that are either contractors or construction companies. These guys will have to pay a monthly fee, but it will allow them to obtain the contact information of whoever is posting the want ad.

Is this something that can be accomplished with Classipress? I realize it will probably involve some additional coding or other plugins.

Does anyone have any ideas if, and how easily this could be accomplished?

Thanks!

This is definitely achievable, but as you say, would require a certain amount of customisation with regards to relevant fields etc. As for how easy it is, I suppose comes down to the skill of the coder? I believe there are some examples of people who are using CP for similar kind of things (job boards).. so you could check the showcase thread perhaps http://wpclassipress.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 or even a search for "job boards" could bring results for examples..
