Australian tradies, shortlisted for the job you actually need done

Electricians, plumbers, tilers, carpenters, concreters, plasterers, roofers and landscapers. Every one of them has told us the jobs they want to take on, so when you brief us we only introduce you to the ones who'd raise their hand for yours.

The BuildPilot Difference

Tradies
matched the right way.

Here's what makes this different from a traditional listing platform: every business in our network sets their own preferences up front, the project stages they actually handle, the suburbs they actually service, and the scope they're set up to deliver. When you brief us, we cross-match your requirements against those declared preferences. Two-sided fit, both ways, before a single introduction goes out.

Professionals matched to the exact stage you're at

Pre-DA, post-DA, mid-build, post-handover. We surface the right specialist for where you are, not where you were.

Geo-gated to your suburb

We only surface professionals who actually service your postcode. No two-hour drives for a quote that never lands.

Ranked by fit, not by ad spend

You see the right match for your project. Rankings come from how well a business matches your build, full stop.

Common questions

What homeowners ask before they start.

How does BuildPilot make money?

BuildPilot is a free service for homeowners. You'll never be charged for briefing us, getting a shortlist, or any of the conversations that follow. Our revenue comes from the partner side of the platform and never changes where a business ranks for your project. Read the full breakdown of how BuildPilot makes money.

How do you pick which businesses to show me?

Every business in our network answers the same matcher questions a homeowner does. When you brief us about your project, we score every business in the relevant category by how well their declared services, location coverage, and capability overlap with what you need. The shortlist is the businesses that score best.

What if I'm not sure what stage I'm at, or who I actually need?

That's the most common scenario, and our matcher is built around it. The questions are written so anyone can answer them, whether you're still scribbling sketches on a napkin or you've already lodged a DA. If you'd rather walk it through with a human, you can book a 1-on-1 session and we'll help you figure out the right specialist for where you are.

Does BuildPilot verify the businesses in your network?

When you're choosing which business on your shortlist to work with, we give you the tools to make that decision with confidence. Inside your workspace you'll find a Builder Licence Check and a Building Insurance Check that pull from the relevant Australian authorities, so you can confirm credentials yourself before you commit to anything.

What happens after I get my shortlist?

Each business on your shortlist receives the brief you submitted and your preferred contact method. From there, they'll reach out to introduce themselves, ask any clarifying questions, and put together an estimate or schedule a site visit. You stay in control of which conversations you continue.

Your free workspace · Milestones

Keep your own build diary in one place, not scattered across notes and group chats.

Milestones is your personal build journal. Add your own key dates as they get locked in, slab pour, frame, fix-out, handover, every site meeting in between. It is self-tracked, so you stay in control of what matters to you, not whatever the builder happens to mention.
