For residential developers and homebuilders
Tender it once. Get bids you can actually compare.
Post a private package — drawings, scope, the date you need pricing by — and it goes to trades that genuinely do that work in your area. The quotes come back in one place, in one shape. Free for early registrants.
- Private, not a public tender
- Matched trades, not a paid directory

We are in early access, so a person sets this up with you and works your first package with you rather than pointing you at an empty screen. That is also why it is free right now.
The bidding problem is not finding trades. It's comparing them.
You can always find someone to quote. What costs you money is three quotes written against three different readings of the same scope, and no way to tell which one is genuinely cheapest.
Illustrative bids. The point is the shape: every trade prices the same scope, so the lowest number is actually the lowest number.
One scope out
Post the package once
Drawings, finish schedule, unit count, the date you need pricing by. It goes to every invited trade in the same shape, so the bids that come back are actually comparable instead of five different interpretations of the same email.
Matched trades
Only trades who do this work
Matched on the trade, the project type and the area they actually work — from the network Builtie already maps for the construction product, not a directory anyone can pay to be listed in.
Side by side
Price, lead time, track record
Bids land in one place with the numbers lined up. The cheapest bid and the one that can actually start when you need it are usually not the same bid, and that is the comparison that is hard to make over email.
Private
Not a public tender
This is residential private work. Your package is visible to the trades you invited and nobody else — not indexed, not broadcast, not sold on as a lead to whoever pays for it.
One package to start. Not a migration.
Nothing changes about how you run your builds. You tender one package here and see whether the bids are better than the ones you would have got anyway.
- 01
Tell us what you build
Project type, unit counts, the areas you work, and which packages you tender most. Takes one call. We set the board up with you rather than handing you an empty screen.
- 02
Post a package
Upload the drawings and the scope, set a closing date. Start with one — the package you most hate re-explaining over email five times.
- 03
We put it in front of matched trades
Trades that do that work, at that scale, in that area. They see the same scope you wrote, so every quote answers the same question.
- 04
Compare and award
Price, lead time and track record side by side. Award it, and the conversation carries on directly with the trade — we are not in the middle of your build.
Free for early registrants
and it stays free for you
Not a trial and not a launch discount. A tender board is worth nothing to a trade until developers are posting real packages on it, so the builders who come in now are the thing we are actually buying. Register in early access and your account stays free when pricing starts.
What early access includes
- Your board set up with you, on a call
- Unlimited packages and unlimited invited trades
- Matched trades sourced for each package you post
- Your own trades invited alongside them, free
- Bids compared on price, lead time and track record
- A direct line to us while we build the rest of it
We take a small number of builders at a time, because in early access a real person works your first package with you. If we cannot find enough trades for what you tender in your area, we will tell you on the first call rather than let you post into silence.
Questions we get asked
- Is this really free?
- Yes, for early registrants, and it stays free for you when we start charging. It is free because a tender board is worth nothing to a trade until developers are posting real packages on it, so the first builders on here are what we are buying. We would rather say that plainly than dress it up as a launch discount.
- How ready is this? Be honest.
- We are in early access, which means a person sets your board up with you and works your first package alongside you rather than pointing you at a signup screen. The trade network underneath it is real and already running — 209,456 construction companies tracked and 171,548 named contacts mapped across North America (counted October 21, 2026), deepest in the Greater Toronto Area. The self-serve product on top of it is what early access is building, and early registrants shape it.
- Where do the bidding trades come from?
- From the network Builtie already maps for its construction product: companies identified from permits, projects and their own public activity, with named people attached. Nobody pays to appear, so a match means they genuinely do that work in that area — not that they bought the slot.
- Is my package public?
- No. This is private residential tendering. Your scope, your drawings and the bids you receive are visible to you and to the trades you invited. It is not indexed, not broadcast, and your project is not resold as a lead.
- What kinds of projects fit?
- Residential: custom homes, infill, townhouse and low-rise blocks, and larger renovation programmes. Anything from a single custom build up to a few hundred units a year. If you tender the same package repeatedly, this is aimed squarely at you.
- Do I have to stop using the trades I already use?
- No, and you shouldn't. Invite your existing trades to bid alongside the matched ones — most builders use this to keep their regulars honest on price and lead time, not to replace them. A package with your own three trades and two new ones is the normal shape.
Start with the package you hate tendering most.
One scope, posted once, in front of trades that actually do that work. Free for early registrants, and free for you after that.
