BuiltGrid

What BuiltGrid does

BuiltGrid is a B2B procurement network founded in 2020 and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, that connects residential home builders, subcontractors (trades), and material suppliers on a single cloud-based SaaS platform. The platform manages the end-to-end procurement workflow — from standardized RFQs and supplier quotes through approvals and automated purchase order generation — with a structured scope and document management layer attached to each project. The product is delivered as a multi-tenant web and mobile application backed by an API and integration framework, hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure within Australia, with PCI DSS payment handling delegated to Stripe.

The platform is organized around four segment-specific product modules — for Custom Builders, Volume Builders, Trades, and Suppliers — that share a common connected procurement engine. BuiltGrid monetizes primarily through recurring subscription fees paid by builders and trades, with a freemium tier available to trades and suppliers to lower onboarding friction. Distribution is a hybrid of product-led growth (free self-serve signup at app.builtgrid.com) and embedded sales through integration partnerships with Australian construction technology platforms including BusinessCraft (ERP), MyConstruct (construction management), Dindo (estimating), and others such as PriceAPlan, SimPRO, HazardCo, Wunderbuild, and Xero. The company reports a network of more than 25,000 builders, trades, and suppliers across Australia and runs an active content marketing program publishing 2-3 articles per month on construction procurement topics.

BuiltGrid was co-founded by Toby Loft, who previously led national trade strategy for Independent Hardware Group (Mitre 10 and Home Timber & Hardware) where he grew trade revenues to $1.2B, and Otavio Nestares Lipari, who serves as CTO with more than 22 years of experience building technology platforms. The company operates as BuiltGrid Australia Pty Ltd, a private proprietary limited company, with no external funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed in available sources. Revenue, ARR, and pricing tiers beyond the freemium tier are not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

BuiltGrid is a cloud-based B2B procurement network that connects residential home builders, trade subcontractors, and material suppliers in Australia on a single platform. It manages the full construction procurement workflow from RFQs and supplier quotes through approvals, automated purchase order generation, and variation management. The platform is offered as a multi-tenant SaaS product accessible via web, mobile, and API, with a free account tier for trades and suppliers and paid plans for builders.

Product overview

BuiltGrid offers a cloud-based multi-tenant procurement platform that connects builders, trades, and suppliers across the Australian residential construction industry. The core product is the BuiltGrid Platform itself, which is complemented by four audience-specific modules: BuiltGrid for Custom Builders, BuiltGrid for Volume Builders, BuiltGrid for Trades, and BuiltGrid for Suppliers. These modules sit atop the same underlying connected procurement engine and differ primarily in the user-facing workflows and features tailored to each segment's role in the supply chain.

Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core and secondary.

• BusinessCraftcoreTechnology or IntegrationBusinessCraft is an ERP system used by builders and manufacturers. BuiltGrid integrates with BusinessCraft so that RFQs, pricing documents, and orders flow between systems — eliminating email-based procurement and enabling procurement to run inside BusinessCraft. Co-branded integration pages and mutual customer references are used for go-to-market.
• MyConstructcoreTechnology or IntegrationMyConstruct is a construction management and job management platform. The integration connects project details, documents, pricing and orders to flow through MyConstruct — not through emails, spreadsheets, and follow-up calls. Joint go-to-market pages drive adoption on both sides.
• DindocoreTechnology or IntegrationDindo is an estimating platform for builders. The integration connects trade take-off and scoping directly to BuiltGrid's supplier network for RFQ generation and quote comparison. Users can send RFQs from Dindo to BuiltGrid and receive structured quotes back for side-by-side comparison, with orders placed directly from the comparison page.
• PriceAPlansecondaryTechnology or IntegrationPriceAPlan is estimating software. The BuiltGrid integration glossary references that PriceAPlan integrates with BuiltGrid to streamline quoting data flow.
• SimPROsecondaryTechnology or IntegrationSimPRO is job management software for trades. The BuiltGrid integration glossary notes that SimPRO integrations connect job scheduling with procurement workflows.
• HazardCosecondaryTechnology or IntegrationHazardCo is a safety management platform in the construction industry. The BuiltGrid integration references HazardCo as part of the ecosystem of connected platforms for compliance visibility.
• WunderbuildsecondaryTechnology or IntegrationWunderbuild is a construction management and procurement software platform. The BuiltGrid integration glossary lists Wunderbuild as part of the broader ecosystem of connected platforms.
• XerosecondaryTechnology or IntegrationXero is a cloud-based accounting software platform. The BuiltGrid glossary references Xero as an integration point linking procurement data to finance in real time.

Direct peers

• Buildxact: Australian residential construction software providing estimating, job management and supplier procurement for builders. Targets the same SMB custom-builder and volume-builder segments in Australia with overlapping RFQ-to-quote workflow functionality.
• CoConstruct: Custom home builder management software covering project management, client communication, selections, and procurement workflows. Directly comparable product surface for the custom-builder persona BuiltGrid serves.
• ProcurePro: Australia-based construction procurement platform for builders and trade contractors. Most direct comparable — operates in the same residential/commercial procurement workflow category, same geography, and targets overlapping builder and trade customer segments as BuiltGrid.
• JobTread: Construction management platform for builders and remodelers combining estimating, job costing, and procurement. Comparable end-to-end builder workflow software competing for the same residential builder buyer as BuiltGrid.

Broad incumbents

• Buildertrend: Established US-based residential construction platform with CRM, project management, scheduling, and procurement modules for home builders. Larger incumbent offering overlapping capabilities as part of a broader suite, not specialised to procurement.
• Procore: Global construction management platform with project execution, financial, and procurement tools widely used across residential and commercial builders. Large incumbent whose broad portfolio overlaps BuiltGrid's procurement use case but is not specialised to the SMB residential Australia segment.
• PlanRadar: Construction documentation, defect management and task tracking platform used across builders and trades. Overlaps with BuiltGrid's scope/document management features for builders and trades as part of a broader site-management suite.

Emerging players

• LetsBuild: Construction project management and field collaboration platform expanding into procurement-adjacent workflows. Overlaps with BuiltGrid's builder-side coordination use cases, particularly among mid-market general contractors.
• Mastt: Australian project management and analytics platform for construction programs. Adjacent to BuiltGrid in target market (Australian construction) and overlapping on builder/owner-facing project visibility, though focused upstream on program-level reporting.

Others

• SafetyCulture (iAuditor): Australian-headquartered operations/workplace platform with deep penetration among construction trades. Comparable as a successful Australian construction-vertical SaaS ecosystem player (BuiltGrid already integrates with their HazardCo safety product), though not a direct procurement competitor.
