Harry Rao
Founder & CEO, Build Paperless
Built from listening to builders, not guessing what they need.
Build Paperless started with a simple observation: Australian builders are being asked to run their businesses across too many apps, and it's costing them time on site.
One tool for quotes, another for variations, something else for photos, a spreadsheet for payments, a group chat for the site team. Nothing connected. Nothing agreed. And at the end of every day, another stack of admin waiting instead of rest.
The industry doesn't need another app. It needs fewer of them.
Software shaped by the people who use it
Build Paperless is a product built from conversations with the people it's for: builders, suppliers, trades, and homeowners. Every decision about what to build starts with what they've shared.
A builder flagged that variations were taking too long to approve, so the flow was redesigned. A supplier asked for a cleaner way to send pricing, and it found its way into the product. A homeowner couldn't find their selections, so the client portal was rebuilt around them.
From real feedback to real product. That loop is how Build Paperless is designed, and it's why features feel like they were made for Australian builders. Because they were, one conversation at a time.
The goal isn't to be the biggest construction platform. It's to be the one builders actually want to open on a Monday morning.
The Vision
One platform where builders, suppliers, trades, and homeowners all see the same picture. Fewer tools. Less admin. More time on site.
That's what we're building.
Trust
Transparency
Visibility
Builders Deserve Better Tools
Most builders are either juggling fragmented tools that don't talk to each other, or locked into expensive software that holds their data hostage. Either way, they're paying too much and getting too little.
The Reality Today
- •Paying $8,000-$10,000 a year for software that won't let you export your own data
- •Five different tools for emails, documents, variations, photos, and scheduling
- •Clients calling every week because they can't see what's happening on their build
- •Your business data locked behind someone else's paywall with no way out
What Paperless Enables
- •One platform that replaces the fragmented mess, from $99/mo
- •Your data is yours. Export it, download it, take it with you. Always.
- •Clients, suppliers, and your site team each get their own portal with real-time updates
- •Builders on site, not stuck at a desk chasing paperwork
Our Values
These principles guide every decision we make and every feature we build.
Trust Through Transparency
Trust isn't demanded—it's earned through visibility. When everyone can see what's happening, confidence follows naturally.
Visibility for All
Builders, suppliers, and homeowners deserve to see the same picture. No surprises, no hidden details—just clarity at every stage.
Built for Builders
Every feature starts with one question: "Does this help builders get back on site?" We exist to serve the hardworking trades building Australian homes.
Strengthening the Industry
Good builders deserve to be recognised. This platform helps trustworthy builders stand out and builds confidence across the entire industry.
