Common questions
What does the monthly subscription include and how long am I committed?
The monthly subscription gives you full platform access for an initial 12-month term, billed monthly. The 12-month minimum reflects the depth of relationship the platform creates: regulated escrow accounts, KYC for every party on your projects, and audit trails that grow more valuable the longer the relationship continues.
How does the annual plan work and how much do I save?
Pay upfront for the full year and save. Builder Tier 1 is $3,000/year +GST for 1 to 5 projects, and Tier 2 is $5,000/year +GST for 6 to 10 projects. Subcontractors pay $2,500/year +GST. Annual plans include the same feature access as monthly billing.
How do the builder tiers work?
Builder tiers are based only on the number of residential projects you run during each subscription year. Tier 1 covers 1 to 5 projects, Tier 2 covers 6 to 10 projects, and builders running 11 or more projects should contact BuildFair for Enterprise pricing. Every builder tier includes the same features.
What happens if I move from Builder Tier 1 to Tier 2 mid-term?
You pay only the difference for the remainder of your current subscription term, not the price of a second full subscription. If you pay annually, BuildFair applies the remaining-term difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2. If you are billed monthly, the remaining monthly payments in your 12-month term change from $300/month +GST to $500/month +GST.
Are there any other fees beyond the subscription?
Your plan covers the full platform fee. BuildFair absorbs our banking partner Kobble's transaction fees, so bank payments and payouts carry no per-transaction fee. Builders do not pay a separate fee for each project; their subscription tier is based on the number of projects run during the subscription year. There are no setup fees or early termination fees beyond the 12-month subscription minimum.
What if I'm both a builder and a subcontractor on different projects?
Choose the plan that matches your primary role. Builder plans include the operational toolset for running projects, approving invoices, managing variations and defects, and giving owners visibility. Subcontractor plans include the receiving toolset for submitting invoices, tracking payments, and uploading documents. Most users find one role dominates their work and one plan covers their needs. If you genuinely operate at scale in both roles and need the full builder toolset on some projects, contact us.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your project records are retained for 7 years to meet Australian tax law requirements and to preserve the audit trail in case any project goes to dispute resolution, SOPA adjudication, or other legal process where the BuildFair record is evidence. You can export full audit trails and cashflow records at any time, before or after cancellation. The data stays available to the parties involved in each project, even after a builder or subcontractor account is closed.
Do my project owners or suppliers pay anything?
No. Project owners are invited to your project by you, at no cost to them and no additional cost to you. Supplier relationships work differently and are handled through enterprise contracts, so any supplier deal is negotiated separately and not part of your builder subscription.
Can I switch from monthly to annual or vice versa?
Yes. You can switch from monthly to annual at any time and the change takes effect immediately, with the annual saving applied. Switching from annual to monthly happens at renewal. Contact support to make either change.
Is GST included in the prices shown?
No, prices shown are exclusive of GST. The +GST notation throughout the page indicates GST is added at checkout. All amounts will appear with GST at the point of payment.
