Wholesale Trades for Owner Builders in Australia

‍

Choosing the right suppliers and contractors for your owner-builder project is crucial to ensuring quality work at the best possible price. With our platform, we leave the freedom of choice entirely up to you—you can choose any contractor or supplier you like. However, it’s important to understand that most suppliers and contractors don’t typically work with the average mum and dad builder. Those that do often charge higher rates because of the added time and effort required to cater to individual needs and smaller-scale projects. This can lead to inflated costs, longer lead times, and potential frustration.

Why Builders Get Better Rates (And How We Level the Playing Field)

‍

Professional builders have long-established relationships with suppliers and contractors, often purchasing in large volumes, which allows them to access lower prices and priority service. As an owner-builder, you might face higher costs and less flexibility when dealing with retail suppliers. Here’s where we step in to help:

• Pre-Negotiated Rates: We’ve done the hard work for you by negotiating predetermined rates with our network of trusted suppliers and contractors across Australia, including Sydney, Queensland, and Melbourne. These rates are guaranteed to be below market or retail pricing, ensuring significant savings.
• Bulk Buying Power: Through our platform, you can take advantage of bulk purchasing arrangements, even if you’re building a single home, leveraging the same cost efficiencies professional builders enjoy.
• Transparent Pricing: You’ll always know upfront what you’re paying, with no hidden markups or surprises.

Vetted and Verified Professionals

‍

One of the biggest risks for owner-builders is hiring suppliers and contractors who don’t meet regulatory and compliance standards. We eliminate that worry by ensuring all our recommended professionals:

• Have Required Insurances: Including public liability and workers' compensation to protect you against any unforeseen incidents.
• Hold Relevant Certifications & Licenses: Ensuring they are legally qualified to perform the work required.
• Meet Compliance Standards: Adhering to local and national building codes and safety regulations.
• Showcase Proven Track Records: With multiple examples of their previous work, so you can be confident in their experience and quality of service.

We carefully vet each contractor and supplier to ensure you’re getting reliable, skilled professionals who can deliver on their promises.

Flexibility with Expert Support

‍

While we provide a curated list of vetted suppliers and contractors, the choice ultimately rests with you. If you already have a trusted supplier or contractor in mind, that’s perfectly fine! However, we encourage you to take advantage of our pre-approved network, which offers the added benefits of cost savings, compliance assurance, and proven performance.

If you decide to go with your own selection, our team is here to assist by:

• Reviewing Quotes: To ensure you’re getting a fair deal and not overpaying.
• Verifying Credentials: Helping you check their insurances and certifications to avoid compliance issues.
• Negotiating Better Terms: Leveraging our industry experience to secure more favorable payment terms or discounts.
