Run every job from one place
Get quotes from the right tradies, keep every trade on schedule, and know what each project is costing you.
The problems we fix
- Chasing tradies by phone and text for quotes.
- Quotes on paper, in emails and in messages, impossible to compare.
- “That wasn't in my quote” arguments after the scope changes.
- Not knowing what the job has cost until the end.
What you get
Post once, get the right quotes
Add your project with trades, sub-trades, scope, budget and plans. Build2Trade sends it to tradies who do that trade within range, or to your own network first.Save as a draft
Not ready to publish? Save the project as a draft and finish it later, on the web or the app.Add, change or remove trades any time
Add a trade to a live project and the right tradies are told straight away. Remove a trade nobody has quoted on yet.Your network first
Have tradies you trust? Invite them by phone or email and give them first look for a set number of days. If nobody picks it up, publish it to everyone with one tap. You can also “publish again” later to remind tradies about trades that are still open.Bring your team with you
Invite the tradies and suppliers you already work with to join Build2Trade by phone or email, and see who has joined.Compare quotes side by side
See every quote for a trade together: price, GST, inclusions and documents. Hire in one tap.Every change recorded
If you change the project, tradies who quoted are told exactly what changed. If a tradie edits their quote, you see the old and new price and their note. Every version is kept with the date and time.Calendar and reminders
Every trade on a calendar and a Gantt chart, across all your projects. See what's on today and this week, what's overdue or delayed, and which trades still have no tradie. Filter by postcode, trade, tradie or status. Reminders go out before the project and each trade starts.Expenses and receipts
Log every cost against the project and trade: materials, hire, labour and more. Attach receipts and invoices. See totals by trade and for the whole project, and export the project's expenses as a report.Project reports in PDF and Excel
