Choose Builder when posting, then add your town or suburb and state. Registered trades can view shared briefs that match their trade and state.
Common building projects
- Home renovations
- Extensions and alterations
- Project scoping and building work
Before agreeing to the work
Discuss a written scope, exclusions, project stages and responsibility for approvals. Ask how changes to the agreed work will be handled.
Confirm the person’s experience, relevant qualifications and insurance directly. Agree on a written scope and price before work starts.
What to include in your job brief
- Describe the rooms or structure involved, the intended use and approximate dimensions. Separate essential changes from optional ideas.
- Include photos of the existing layout and access. State whether drawings or approvals exist; discuss document sharing directly with the builder.
- Explain your expected start window, whether the property will be occupied and what parts of the project need advice or coordination.
An example brief
We are considering converting an existing covered area into a room. I can provide photos and approximate dimensions. We need advice on feasibility before finalising the scope.
Replace the details with your own job, location, photos and timing. A clear brief helps a tradie decide whether the work suits them.
How TradeBrief helps
You can sign in as a client to share a job brief with photos and a contact method. TradeBrief is in early access: responses and local availability depend on the trades using the platform. Posting does not guarantee a quote or a booking.
The directory shows sponsored businesses when listings are available. A listing is not a guarantee of suitability for your job.
