How it works

Three steps from idea to build

01Post your build, freeOwner-builders advertise the build they are planning. No charge to list, no commission.

02Trades and suppliers see your buildSubscribed trades and suppliers search open builds in their area and reach out if it suits them. No platform matching, no guaranteed responses.

03You connect and contract directlyYou deal with each other directly and sign your own contracts. SendScope is the venue that introduces you; it is not a party to any contract and does not handle payments between you.

Two sides, one marketplace

Whether you are building or working

For owner-builders

Advertise your build for free and choose who you talk to.

List your build at no cost, with no commission
Trades and suppliers come to you
You stay in control and contract each trade directly

Owner-building needs a permit (NSW) or certificate of consent (VIC), is limited to one project every 5 years, and is for a home you intend to live in. SendScope is the marketplace, not a permit service.

Coverage

Launching first in Sydney and Melbourne

We are starting in New South Wales and Victoria. Join the waitlist and we will let you know when we open for your build.

Owner-builder obligations

You contract each trade directly

Owner-builders contract each trade directly under NSW or Victorian home-building law: written contracts, deposit caps, and builder-supplied insurance on larger packages. SendScope does not prepare, hold, or guarantee these contracts.

Get in touch

Join the Build Board beta

We are onboarding a small number of owner-builders while the Build Board is in beta. Leave your details and we will be in touch when a place opens.

The Build Board waitlist opens soon. Check back shortly.
