About BuilderTrade
The connected project platform for residential construction.
Builders run projects with the subcontractors they already trust, bring in verified trades only when needed, and keep every decision connected from plans to completion.
Our story
From plans to completion. One platform.
Construction in Australia still relies on fragmented systems: word-of-mouth referrals, scattered messages, incomplete paperwork, and quotes that often arrive without enough context to compare fairly. For builders, that uncertainty costs time and money. For quality trades, it means competing on price alone instead of being recognised for licensing, reliability, and a proven track record.
BuilderTrade was created to change that. We built one operating platform where builders can work with their own subcontractors, verification status stays current, and project briefs, scope, quotes and site records come together in one clear workflow. The result is better decision-making, stronger accountability, and a more professional way for builders and licensed trades to work together.
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 trade businesses. 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.

From the founder
"Quoting was eating my business alive."
BuilderTrade was founded by a qualified tiler from the Sunshine Coast who spent years chasing work, quoting in his own time, and trying to find builders he could trust. He built the platform he wished existed.
