About Buildy

A New Zealand-owned platform built from real trade experience.

Buildy is a New Zealand marketplace where people can find local tradies, explore their services, request quotes and communicate directly.
We make it easier for clients to find the right people for their projects and for tradies to showcase their work and find new opportunities.

Built from real experience

Buildy was created by a family with firsthand experience running a trade business in New Zealand.

Working alongside different tradies on a range of projects, and directly with clients, has given us a practical understanding of the challenges both sides can face, from finding the right people and managing expectations to communication throughout a project.
That's why we created Buildy: a straightforward platform designed to make finding tradies, exploring opportunities and communicating directly easier for everyone.

Real People. Real Trust.

Every profile starts with a real person.

At Buildy, we believe trust starts with knowing who's behind a profile.
That's why we verify account holders' identities, profile photos, business details and relevant trade licences, where applicable.
Our goal is to help genuine tradies stand out, reduce misleading profiles and give clients greater confidence when choosing who to contact.

Simple. Direct. No platform fees.

We believe finding work or hiring a tradie shouldn't come with unnecessary platform charges.
For clients: Post jobs for free, browse tradie profiles, request quotes and communicate directly. No Buildy platform fees or commissions.
For tradies: Create a free business profile, browse available jobs, receive enquiries and send quotes.

No subscriptions, lead fees or commissions.

Clients and tradies arrange the work and payments directly with each other.

How can Buildy be free?

We develop and maintain Buildy ourselves, which allows us to cover the costs of running the platform during its early stages without charging users.
Our aim is to keep Buildy's core features free for both clients and tradies. In the future, we may introduce optional paid features for those who want additional tools or benefits, while keeping the essential functions accessible to everyone.

Proudly New Zealand-owned

Buildy is owned and operated by Buildy Limited, a New Zealand-registered company.
We're here to support local trade businesses and make it easier for people across New Zealand to find the right tradies for their projects.
