Tiered success fee
We only charge you a fee when you secure work. Our fee is based on total job value but as the job value increases our percentage fee decreases.
| Job value | Tier fee |
|---|---|
| Component of job value up to $2,500 | 7.5% |
| Component of job value $2,500 – $10,000 | 4.5% |
| Component of job value $10,000 – $50,000 | 1.5% |
The minimum fee we charge for any job is $10. You can calculate your fee with our handy calculator:
- All service fees listed above are in New Zealand dollars and are exclusive of GST.
- The total job cost is the cost of the invoice issued to the homeowner including GST (if any).
- For recurring jobs, unless specified, the job cost is calculated over 9 weeks.
- Our fees are a marketing expense. It is against our T&C's to itemise these in your invoices. Read how to account for Builderscrack fees.

Job Posted
The homeowner posts the job on Builderscrack.
Tradesperson chases
The tradesperson pitches for the job if it suits.
Tradesperson quotes
The tradesperson visits the site, quotes, or simply says they'll do it.
Job secured
The homeowner awards, or the tradesperson claims the job (as soon as job price is known and provided, success fee is applied)
Job done!
The job is undertaken and feedback is given.
Where the tradesperson can demonstrate that payment was not received from the homeowner due to no fault on their part – or the job simply didn't proceed, Builderscrack will credit your account with any success fee already paid for that job.
