Choose better.Build smarter.

The easiest way to find, compare and appoint the right builder.

Start your projectSee how it works
One platform, every side

See it your way.

Choose your side of the build and the page re-tunes: your questions, your numbers, your next step.

Getting quotes shouldn’t feel like chasing.

Choosing your builder is the biggest decision of the whole build. Today it runs on phone tag, mismatched PDFs and gut feel. We gave it structure instead.

The old way

The contract is direct, between you and Hartley Homes.

Trust isn’t a feature. It’s the product.

Marketplaces earn trust with structure, not slogans. Three rules BuilderHQ runs on, for everyone, from day one.

01

Checked, then checked again

Every ABN is checked live against the Australian Business Register, every licence against its state register. Where a register doesn’t connect, we verify by hand. Only then does the badge appear.

02

Private by default

The marketplace sees a suburb and a scope, nothing more. Address, contact and documents unlock only for verified builders who commit to tendering.

03

A considered shortlist

Three builders can unlock a project, maximum. Genuine competition for owners, a real opportunity for builders, and no one pricing against a crowd.

And when the job is awarded, the contract is yours. BuilderHQ takes no commission from either side.

Checked by people, not just code.

We’re an Australian team building the trusted layer for residential construction. Every builder is reviewed before they tender, every project checked before it lists. Where a register doesn’t connect, we verify by hand.

Built in Melbourne, for Australia.

How every builder gets in

  1. ABN verified

    Live against the Australian Business Register

  2. Licence verified

    Against the relevant state building register

  3. Verified by our team

    Checked against government registers, by hand where they don’t connect

  4. Approved to tender

    Only then does the verified badge appear

No anonymous bids. No pay-to-appear. Just builders who cleared the gate.

— Kate & Tom Fletcher · New build · Point Cook, VIC

“We’d already been quoted by two builders and the numbers were pages apart, impossible to line up. Putting the plans up here and getting everything back in the same format is what finally let us pick one without second-guessing.”
