For builders and head contractors

Award work to trades who hold what the job needs.

Put each work package out to quote, see every bidder checked against the job, and collect their end-of-job certificates for handover. All in the same app that keeps your own business compliant.

What a builder's map covers

  • Domestic Builder (Unlimited) and Commercial Builder registration with the BPC
  • Minimum financial requirements for domestic builders
  • Public liability, and what your subbies must hold
  • Home warranty on domestic contracts over $20,000
  • Deposit and progress payment rules under the Domestic Building Contracts Act
  • Mandatory inspection stages and handover certificates

How a tender runs

From a work package to a compliant, awarded trade.

  1. Set up the package

    Add the scope, the trade and the kind of work. Its requirements come from the same Victorian rules: a plumber's warranty cover on domestic work, for example.

  2. Invite trades

    Pick from your subbies or add someone new. Each gets a link to quote or decline. No account needed.

  3. Compare compliant bidders

    Bidders are listed compliant first, with their quote, what's met and missing, and how it was checked.

  4. Award

    Awarding someone missing a legal requirement asks for a reason, kept in the audit log. The others are told they weren't chosen.

The work package

What every bidder must hold, then each quote with what's met and missing. Bayside Plumbing shares live credentials, so it's checked without anyone chasing paperwork.

  • Compliant bidders listed first
  • Invite from your subbie list or someone new
  • Share the quotes with your client

The trade's invite

The trade opens a link. No account, no app to download.

  • The scope and what they need to hold
  • Quote, or say it's not for them
  • Paste a credentials link or upload certificates
The page a trade opens from a tender invite, with no account: the job, what they need to hold, their quote, and where to share their credentials or upload certificates

Your client's page

Show your client who's quoting and whether they check out, with or without prices.

  • Never shows bidders' contact details or files
  • Shows who you chose once you award
  • Withdraw the link any time
The read-only page a builder shares with their client: each quote and whether the trade's licence and insurance check out

Live credentials win

Bidders can share their Tradies Bureau credentials link instead of uploading files. Choose to list them first among equally compliant bidders. Nobody is ever excluded for it.

Show your client

Share a package's quotes with your client on a read-only page, with or without prices. They see who's compliant and who you chose, never bidders' contact details.

Certificates at handover

Once awarded, trades send end-of-job certificates through the same link. You accept or reject them, then hand them to your client in their portal.

Flagged mid-project

After award, each trade's certificates are checked every night. One running out during the job lands in your Sunday digest.

Contracts that follow the Act

Claims to the owner are checked against the deposit and stage caps, and variations are signed online and sent with a PDF.

Your subbies, onboarded

Agreements signed online, certificates uploaded and checked, WorkCover and PI requested, and a contractor-or-employee check on file.
