For Sydney builders & their trades

Everyone on site,
reading the same page.

The builder has a program and a rough guess. Every trade has their own job list. The progress claim is a third document that argues about the gap. BuildBase makes those one live record — owned equally by both sides.

The problem

Nobody actually knows what's done.

Not because anyone's hiding it — because the information lives in eight different places. A builder's Tuesday is spent ringing round to rebuild a picture that every trade already has in their head.

  • Phone calls and site visits just to answer "is the rough-in finished?"
  • Progress claims that trigger a fortnight of back-and-forth
  • No record of who did what, when, if something's disputed later
  • Software that treats the subbie as a guest in the builder's file

How it works

Tick it once. Everyone sees it.

No new admin for the trade, no chasing for the builder. The record updates itself as the work gets done.

01

The trade ticks off

Their own crew, on their own phone, marks work complete with a photo as they finish it. Takes five seconds in a switchboard cupboard.

02

The builder sees it live

One dashboard across every trade on the job. Not a weekly report — the moment it's ticked, it's there, with the photo attached.

03

The claim writes itself

The agreed tick-offs become the progress claim. The argument already happened, quietly, over the month — instead of all at once.

"A dashboard with holes in it gets trusted less than a whiteboard. That's why we built it for every trade on the job, not just the one."
Why BuildBase covers the whole site from day one
What you get

Built around the way a site actually runs.

Shared live record

One row of truth, two owners

Most tools give the builder the file and let the trade visit. BuildBase gives both sides equal standing on the same record — including a clear path for when the two of you disagree about whether something's done.

Progress claims

Claims that match reality

Every tick carries a timestamp and a photo, so the claim is built from evidence both sides already agreed to. Trades can draw up a proper tax invoice from their completed work instead of retyping a job sheet.

Post work to the trades you already use

Private, not a public marketplace. Post a job to every plumber you've worked with, tick the scope from a preset list, attach the plans. They bid, you accept, and it becomes a live job — nothing retyped.

The part nobody else does

We set the whole thing up for you.

Getting eight subbies onto new software is the reason most site tools die in week two. So we don't hand you a login and wish you luck.

  • We migrate your existing jobs and contacts across
  • We train every crew on site, in person, not over email
  • We build your trade checklists around how you actually work
  • We stay on the phone through the first job, not just week one

We're working with a small number of Sydney builders to get this right before we open it up. If you run three to fifteen jobs a year and you're sick of ringing round, we'd like to talk.
