# Build Paperless

> Build Paperless is all-in-one job management software for residential and commercial builders and the trades and subcontractors they work with, across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

Build Paperless is a SaaS platform (web + iOS + Android) that runs the whole job: AI-powered estimating and takeoff from plans, scheduling, job tracking, digital contracts, variations and change orders, progress claims, supplier orders, client portals, and accounting sync. Builders get a job, workflow and team-management platform for the trades they hire; trades and subcontractors get their own job-management app that is also connected to the builders who assign them work.

## Pricing

One model for builders and trades in every market: the number of admin seats sets the tier, and every plan includes the entire platform. What scales with the tier is the per-admin-seat allowance block (AI credits, storage, e-signatures, inboxes), not the feature set.

  - Australia (AUD): Solo $99/mo for one admin seat, Team and Company $79/admin seat/mo (Team bills a minimum of 2 admin seats, Company a minimum of 5). Site foreman $49 and crew $19 per person per month are flat add-ons on every plan and never change the tier. ex GST.
  - United States (USD): Solo US$79/mo for one admin seat, Team and Company US$59/admin seat/mo (Team bills a minimum of 2 admin seats, Company a minimum of 5). Site foreman US$39 and crew US$19 per person per month are flat add-ons on every plan and never change the tier. ex tax.
  - New Zealand (NZD): Solo NZ$119/mo for one admin seat, Team and Company NZ$99/admin seat/mo (Team bills a minimum of 2 admin seats, Company a minimum of 5). Site foreman NZ$59 and crew NZ$29 per person per month are flat add-ons on every plan and never change the tier. ex GST.

Seats that a builder invites (subcontractors, clients, accountants) are free. There is no lock-in contract.

## What makes Build Paperless different

- **Two connected platforms**: a job/workflow/team-management platform for builders, and a dedicated job-management platform for trades and subcontractors, that talk to each other. A trade can run its own quotes, crews and invoices and receive builder-assigned jobs and RFQs in the same account.
- **AI estimating included**: takeoff and estimation from plans ships on every plan rather than as a paid add-on.
- **Australian compliance built in**: state-specific payment stages, support for HIA and MBA contracts, and HBCF / home-warranty tracking.
- **Websites that feed your CRM**: we build websites for trades and builders and wire every lead into the business CRM (example: https://www.reigngc.com.au).
- **Complete, customised data migrations**: sanitised migrations from platforms with and without APIs, in and out. Data agnostic, no lock-in.
- **Custom estimating modules per trade**: a module marketplace that grows every week.
