Inside Bildr

Everything you need to keep an owner-build moving, without losing the paper trail.

You bring the plans, quotes and project details. Bildr organises the budget, timeline, trade scopes and records. You approve changes that affect money, dates, scope or compliance.

Best for Australian residential owner-builders with plans in hand, or a build starting in the next few months. Bildr supports single dwellings, renovations and extensions. It is not a design tool and does not accept commercial, duplex, multi-unit or secondary-dwelling projects.

Plans and a Walkthrough that work together

Bildr starts with the residential plans and supporting documents you already have. It extracts what it can, cross-checks the result, then asks only about details that remain missing, unclear or yours to decide.

  • Plan facts are reviewed before they become project records
  • Focused questions when a critical item cannot be read confidently
  • No fixed question count or artificial completion timer
  • Your confirmations stay connected to the source information

A budget that shows what is known and what is not

Build the whole owner-builder picture, including trades, materials, consultants, approvals, insurance, demolition, temporary works, site costs, utilities, contingency, escalation and GST.

  • Written quotes, estimates and allowances labelled separately
  • Supply and installation split where the scope supports it
  • Actual and committed costs recorded against the plan
  • Budget changes proposed for confirmation before they apply

Quote review that begins with scope

The cheapest total is not always the clearest offer. Bildr pulls out inclusions, exclusions, allowances, specification differences and unanswered questions before you compare price.

  • Compare like-for-like trade scope
  • Bring missing or unclear inclusions forward
  • Check the proposal against saved project details
  • Keep the final decision with you and your advisers

A timeline connected to decisions and dependencies

Keep proposed dates, trade sequencing, lead times and decisions in the same project view. When the job changes, Bildr helps show what else may be affected.

  • Proposed milestones based on your confirmed project details
  • Dependencies and lead-time questions kept visible
  • Decisions recorded with due dates and cost impact
  • Date changes require your confirmation

Compliance prompts with evidence beside them

Track inspection prompts, approval records, trade licence details, insurance and supporting evidence in one place. Requirements still need to be confirmed with the relevant authority and qualified professionals.

  • State and project details shape the starting prompts
  • Status and supporting records kept together
  • Unverified items remain visibly unverified
  • Compliance-related changes require confirmation

Site, payment and variation records that stay traceable

Record what happened on site, attach photos, log payments and keep variations linked to the budget. The goal is a useful project history, not another folder of disconnected files.

  • Site diary entries and photos by date
  • Planned, committed and paid amounts kept distinct
  • Variations connected to their cost impact
  • Records remain reviewable instead of silently changing

Ask Bildr with the project in context

Ask a question without re-explaining the whole build. Bildr can use your saved documents and confirmed project records, while making uncertainty and verification needs clear.

  • Uses the project context you have saved
  • Points back to relevant scope and records
  • Proposes important changes instead of applying them silently
  • Does not replace licensed or professional advice

Answers that know your project.
Does this framing quote include everything shown on the structural plans?
It covers supply and installation, but the crane allowance and waste removal need clarification. I would confirm those items in writing before comparing the total.
