Connecting with tradespeople, consultants and suppliers

Build Buddy offers access to an exclusive marketplace of pre-verified tradespeople and consultants, essential for sourcing reliable and cost-effective building materials and services. 

Users can benefit from volume wholesale-priced products typically only available to volume builders, ensuring substantial cost savings.

The platform features community-based reviews of professionals, allowing users to make informed decisions based on the experiences of others. 

Direct communication with tradespeople ensures full transparency, enabling users to deal directly with their chosen professionals. 

With Build Buddy, you have the freedom to select your own team of experts, offering a personalised approach to building your home.

Benefits of using Build Buddy

Choosing Build Buddy for your home building project offers numerous benefits, making it a smart choice for anyone looking to build their dream home.

One of the most significant advantages is cost savings; by eliminating the builder’s margin, you can save as much as 20% or more on your new home build.

This means more of your budget goes directly into your home, allowing for higher quality finishes or additional features.

Build Buddy also provides full transparency throughout the building process. Unlike traditional methods where communication can be filtered through multiple layers, Build Buddy connects you directly with tradespeople and consultants, giving you clear insight into costs, timelines, and progress.

This transparency ensures that you remain in control of your project, reducing the risk of unexpected surprises and hidden costs. 

Another key benefit is 100% home design customisation. With Build Buddy, you’re not limited by pre-set designs or restricted options.

The platform empowers you to fully customise your home to suit your needs and style, whether you’re starting from scratch or modifying an existing plan.

This level of flexibility means your home truly reflects your vision, with the ability to adjust and adapt as your project progresses. 

Cost savings explained

Build Buddy significantly reduces construction costs by optimising project management and minimising unnecessary expenses.

The platform’s budget tracking tool allows users to monitor their spending against their set budget, helping to keep finances on track throughout the build.

Users also have the flexibility to pick and choose their own team of tradespeople based on their budget, ensuring that they can tailor the project to meet their financial needs. 

For those with the skills or connections, Build Buddy offers the option to DIY tasks, or involve friends or family members with relevant expertise—like a carpenter friend—further reducing costs.

Additionally, with 100% customisation available when designing the home, from selecting bricks to appliances, users even have the option to use their own supplies if they have them on hand.

Direct deals with suppliers and tradespeople also eliminate many middleman fees, making the overall project more economical. 

Effective Project Management

Build Buddy improves the home building process by automating key tasks like scheduling and task management, helping users stay organised and on track.

With real-time updates and reminders, the platform supports users in keeping the project moving forward while reducing the risk of delays.

Users have complete control over the pace of their projects, with the Build Buddy app adjusting to their preferred timeline and involvement level.



Collaborative Construction features

Build Buddy excels in fostering collaboration through its integrated construction methodology, aligning all parties—from architects to engineers—with the project goals.

All communications and documents are centralised on the platform, ensuring that every team member is looped in and contributing towards a more efficient construction process.

Build Buddy offers a shared document library that serves as a centralised hub for all project-related communications and documents, ensuring that every team member stays informed and aligned throughout the construction process. 

This feature allows users to store, organise, and access all necessary documents in one place, from building permits and architectural plans to supplier quotes and contracts. 

The document library supports seamless collaboration by enabling users to easily share files with tradespeople, consultants, and other stakeholders. With real-time updates and notifications, team members are always looped in, which helps avoid miscommunication and ensures everyone is contributing effectively towards a more efficient construction process. 

By keeping all communications and documents centralised, Build Buddy simplifies project management, reduces administrative burdens, and helps keep the entire team on the same page, fostering a more organised and transparent workflow. 

Real-time collaboration tools

Build Buddy’s real-time collaboration tools, such as shared document library, instant messaging, scheduling and task management features, are designed to support a collaborative construction approach. 

Collaborative Construction is an innovative methodology that empowers homeowners by integrating every aspect of the construction process into a seamless and personalised experience.

Unlike traditional methods where builders dictate the pace and costs, Collaborative Construction puts you, the homeowner, in charge. It’s not just about building a home; it’s about building the home you’ve always wanted, exactly how you want it.

Build Buddy facilitates this by providing tools that centralise communication, making it easier for tradespeople, consultants, and homeowners to coordinate efforts, share updates, and make decisions quickly. 

Users can easily invite project members, such as partners or parents who are building the home with them, directly through the platform, ensuring that all necessary parties are involved and have access to relevant information.

These features facilitate continuous dialogue and immediate resolution of issues, helping all parties stay on the same page and maintain a smooth workflow throughout the project.

Project management capabilities

Build Buddy's project management features are designed to help keep your project on track and within budget.

The platform brings together task management, communications, and document shared library, so you can manage everything in one place. 

This makes it easier to coordinate your project, set priorities, and adjust task dates as needed. You can choose from different calendar views, task views, and timeline to see your project timeline in a way that works best for you. 

The progress tracking tools provide a clear view of where your project stands, including both the timeline and budget.

You can keep an eye on milestones, track completed tasks, and compare your current progress against your original plans, helping you stay on top of deadlines and costs.
