TradePal for builders
Run every build from your phone.
Deposits, progress stages, subbies and a crew across three sites. TradePal keeps the whole build in one place, and shows you whether the job's actually making money before it's finished.

- Progress claims done on a Sunday

How it works for your building business
Stages, deposits and progress billing
Set up your stages once (slab, frame, lock-up, fixing, practical completion) and invoice each one with the deposit taken off.
Subbie invoices on the job
Subcontractors send invoices through TradePal, so their cost lands on the right job straight away.
Job profit as you go
Receipts are read by AI and put on the job, and wages and super are added, so you can see the margin before practical completion.
Site safety forms
Your crew fills in safety forms on their phone, and they're kept with the job.
Pricing
Priced for crews, not per head.
$47 a month + GST for you, then $5 per staff member (staff 6 to 15 are $7, and $10 after that). Every feature is included.
A crew of 6 (you + 5 staff) is $72 a month. On an app that charges about $48 per person, owner included, that's $288.
Also built for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, air conditioning techs, painters, roofers, tilers, fencers, concreters, plasterers, solar installers, car detailers, gutter cleaners, lawn mowing businesses, landscapers, pool cleaners, window cleaners, pressure washing businesses, cleaning businesses, pest controllers and handymen.
Fair questions.
Something else?
Can supervisors run sites without seeing the money?+
Yes. Supervisors can manage jobs and the crew, and you decide whether they see prices and costs.
Do my subbies have to pay for TradePal?+
No. Subcontractors on your account are just staff on your plan, from $5 a month each.
What does it cost?+
$47 a month + GST for you, then $5 per staff member (staff 6 to 15 are $7, and $10 after that). Every feature is included, there's no contract, and the free trial needs no card.
We're on Tradify or Fergus. Is switching a pain?+
No. Send us your exports and we load your clients, jobs and price list in for you, free. You check it before anything goes in, and then invite your crew with a link.
Does it work with Xero?+
Yes. Invoices and payments sync to Xero on their own. MYOB is coming soon.
Finish the job.
Not the paperwork.
