Win suitable work, present your business professionally and keep the job organised.
BuildPair gives tradespeople a professional profile, local marketplace opportunities, structured quoting and practical tools for managing work after the lead is won.
01
Build a profile that shows what you actually do
Present your trade categories, services, experience, service area, work galleries, before-and-after projects, qualifications, registers and business links in one profile. The aim is to make relevant experience and workmanship easier for homeowners to assess.
02
Choose the work you want to be found for
BuildPair separates broad trade categories from the services underneath them. Plan limits apply to main categories, while the services within those categories can be kept up to date as your business changes.
03
Find local opportunities in several ways
• Browse open marketplace jobs that match your category and service radius.
• Receive direct quote requests from homeowners who choose your searchable profile.
• Publish availability so customers can see when you may be able to take work.
• Use saved searches and alerts to surface relevant opportunities.
• Opt into emergency availability where it suits your business.
04
Send clearer quotes
Structured quote fields keep scope, exclusions, start date, duration, deposit, payment stages, warranty and VAT information clear. AI quote assistance can help draft wording, while the tradesperson remains responsible for checking the final quote before it is sent.
05
Record changes before extra work starts
Variations can record the requested change, price effect, timing effect and approval status. That gives both sides a clearer record when the scope changes after the original quote.
06
Keep using BuildPair after the lead is won
Messaging, project stages, invoices, availability, project stories and analytics are designed to remain useful throughout the customer relationship, not just at the introduction.
07
Starter, Plus and Pro
• Starter: £0/month, up to 2 main categories and a shareable profile.
• BuildPair Plus: £19.99/month, up to 4 main categories, searchable profile, direct quote requests and 15 open-marketplace offers per month.
• BuildPair Pro: £29.99/month, up to 6 main categories, 35 offers per month, advanced analytics, priority alerts and a modest search boost.
08
Professional responsibilities remain yours
Tradespeople remain responsible for accurate profile claims, safe working practices and any registration, qualification, licence, insurance, notification or permission required for the work they undertake. BuildPair can organise evidence and marketplace information but does not replace a regulator or competent-person scheme.
BuildPair
Find the trade. Manage the job. Keep the record.
A UK marketplace and project platform connecting homeowners with local tradespeople. Search, quotes, messages, agreed changes, payment stages and project history stay connected.
Supported BuildPair payments are processed through Stripe. Users can also arrange payment privately, in which case BuildPair cannot process or manage that payment.
BuildPair provides marketplace, project-management and payment-workflow technology. It does not carry out building work, provide building-control approval, inspect or guarantee workmanship, or describe its payment service as escrow.
