About us
Built by construction people, for construction people
BuilderTrade exists because finding a reliable, compliant subbie shouldn't take forty phone calls — and quoting for work shouldn't cost you a credit every time.
Our story
From Queensland to sites nationwide
BuilderTrade was founded in Queensland in 2026 to help builders and tradies connect more efficiently through a smarter, more trusted and more automated construction marketplace. We started with two people, a spreadsheet of subcontractors and a stubborn belief that the industry deserved better tooling than phone tag and PDFs.
Today the platform pairs verified trade profiles with automation across lead capture, onboarding, matching, follow-up and reporting — so residential builders filling a gap this week and head contractors running commercial tender packages both work from the same trusted network, with far less admin.
Founded in Queensland by a builder and an estimator tired of chasing quotes.
Launched the verified trade profile and instant quote matching platform.
Commercial tender module released; first multi-state packages issued.
Growing network of verified trades connecting builders across Australia.
What we stand for
Three things we won't compromise on
Verification isn't optional
A licence number and a current certificate of currency are the minimum bar for a profile to carry our badge.
Never take a cut
Commission models push prices up and squeeze subbies. We charge a flat fee and stay out of your contract.
Built for Australian sites
State licensing, GST-inclusive quoting, SWMS and Aussie support hours — not a US product with a flag on it.
