Pricing

Start free. Pay for the business you actually run.

One house and twenty sites are not the same job, so they are not the same price. Start free today — and when you need more, tell us what you run and we’ll give you a straight number.

No revenue share. No per-seat surprises. A month of everything, free.

Free is a plan, not a trial

Both sides of a build start at no cost. Here is exactly what that means.

Building something

Owners, developers, consultants

  • Your first project, free
  • Post tenders and take bids — no listing fee
  • AI trial uses to try drawings and estimating
  • Invite your own tradies, always free

Doing the work

Tradies, subcontractors, suppliers

  • Bid free, forever
  • Unlimited bids on public tenders
  • Nothing to pay if the job never goes ahead
  • Your profile, your reviews, your licences

Running more than one project, or want the AI, QS reports and compliance tools on every build? Ask us for a price.

What you get on a paid plan

The whole build, in one place. How much of it you need — and how many projects you need it on — is what we talk about.

Estimate

Read drawings and consent packs, build a scope of quantities, and get a QS report you can hand to a bank.

Tender

Put work in front of the whole country or just the people you trust, compare bids side by side, and award in one place.

Schedule

A build programme that moves the rest of the job when one trade slips, and tells the affected tradies it moved.

Documents & compliance

Drawings, variations, consent paperwork and checklists, versioned and in the one place everyone is looking.

Talk to everyone

Chat tied to the job, not a group text that nobody can find in six months.

Contracts & payment

Contracts, claims and invoices off the back of the work you already recorded.

Contact us for pricing

Tell us what you run. We’ll tell you what it costs.

Two minutes, no card, and a real number back — not a brochure.

This is what changes the price. Drag it to where your business actually sits.

1 project

One build at a time.

Sounds like Project Pro. Tell us where to send the price.

The success fee

The one fee that never changes

Whatever plan you end up on, this rule is the same for everyone: if QSME’s public marketplace wins you the work, each side pays 1% — capped, and only once the job is done.

Only on public bidding

The 1% exists for one reason: QSME’s public marketplace found you the work. Post a tender publicly, win a job publicly — that’s the only time a success fee applies.

1% each side, capped at $2,000

When public bidding matches a client and a tradie, each side pays 1% of the contract value — and never more than $2,000, no matter how big the job.

Invoiced only when the job completes

Nothing up front. Nothing on award. The fee is invoiced once the work is actually done — if the job doesn’t go ahead, there’s nothing to pay.

Your own crew is always free

Bring your own tradies or invite someone you already trust, and there is no fee at all. We don’t take a cut of work you found yourself.

Questions, answered

Nothing to lose. A better crew to gain.
