How it works
From project posted to trade on site
One workflow for residential jobs, one for commercial tenders — both designed to remove the phone calls, spreadsheets and compliance guesswork.
For builders
Four steps to a locked-in subbie
Post your project
Describe the scope, upload plans, set the trade, suburb and start date. Takes about 90 seconds.
Invite and get matched
Invite your existing subbies in bulk and let us match verified trades nearby who are available.
Compare structured quotes
Every response arrives in the same format so inclusions, exclusions and prov sums line up.
Award and get on site
Award in one click, auto-notify unsuccessful bidders and keep all documents on the project record.
Tender workflow
Commercial packages, controlled end to end
Build the trade package, invite your subcontractor list, issue addenda and watch acknowledgement in real time. Close submissions on the deadline and level bids in one comparison view.

FAQ
Common questions
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.
