FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I find work with Builders Ready?
Yes. Planning Radar shows you building work being planned near you before it is advertised, and the Marketplace brings homeowner jobs to you. Both are included in your subscription, with no per-lead fees.
How do clients pay, and what does it cost?
Clients can pay milestone invoices by card or bank straight to your own account via Stripe. Builders Ready adds a flat £3 per card payment (free on the Unlimited plan), never a percentage. Bank transfer and cash are free, and it is optional: you can also mark invoices paid yourself.
I only do small jobs. Is this overkill?
No. The £29 Starter tier exists precisely for sole traders and small builders. The same app that runs a £400k extension will run your £18k bathroom refresh, and your client will notice the polish straight away.
What about data security?
UK GDPR compliant, hosted in the UK and EU. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers, and every database query is row-level-secured so a client can only see their own project.
