About BuilderTrade
A marketplace built for builders and trades.
BuilderTrade connects residential builders and trade businesses through real project opportunities, with plans and structured quoting built into each project.
Our story
Better briefs. Clearer quotes. Stronger connections.
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 a construction quoting marketplace where builders can work with their own subcontractors, verification status stays current, and project briefs, scope and quotes come together in one clear quoting 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.
