AI automation
The admin runs itself, so the work moves faster
BuilderTrade pairs a verified trade network with practical automation across lead capture, onboarding, matching, follow-up and reporting.
Assistant for builders and trades
An always-on assistant answers questions, explains next steps and points people to the right part of the platform — day or night.
Lead capture and qualification
Enquiries are captured, checked for trade, budget, region and timing, then scored before anyone picks up the phone.
Automatic journey routing
Builders go straight to project posting, trades to profile setup, commercial enquiries to a tender walkthrough. No wrong door.
Guided onboarding both sides
Step-by-step intake for builders and trades, with prompts that fill the gaps most platforms leave empty.
Profile and job-post improvement
Suggested rewrites turn a two-line job note into a clear brief, and a thin trade profile into one builders actually shortlist.
Quote reminders and follow-up
Unanswered invites, expiring quotes and licence renewals chase themselves so you stop doing it manually.
Smarter matching
Trade type, location, availability, contract size and compliance status combine to shortlist the trades most likely to say yes.
Verification support
Licence and insurance documents are read, dated and diarised, with automatic flags the moment cover lapses.
KPI tracking and reporting
Response times, quote conversion, win rates and pipeline value tracked automatically and summarised for you.
AI-assisted onboarding
Better inputs, better matches
Most platforms take whatever you type and hope for the best. BuilderTrade helps both sides present their work properly, which is why the connections hold up.

“We used to chase six subbies by text for every job. Now I post the package, invites go out, and I'm comparing four priced quotes the same afternoon.”
Dan Petrovic
Director, Petrovic Homes — Geelong VIC
“The licence and insurance checks alone saved us. Every subbie on our panel has current PL cover and it's tracked automatically before they step on site.”
Amara Okafor
Contracts Manager, Northline Construction — Brisbane QLD
“As a sparky I stopped paying per lead years ago. Flat monthly, unlimited quotes, and the commercial tenders are work I'd never have seen otherwise.”
