01 / THE REALITY

It's not you. It's how getting work works.

Finding good work has always been the worst part of the job. Not the work itself - the getting of it.

a.

Word of mouth dries up.

Brilliant when it's flowing, dead silent when it's not. You can't plan a business, a team and a mortgage around a tap you can't turn on.

b.

Advertising's a money pit.

Ads, a website, SEO, socials - that's a full-time evening job sitting on top of your actual job, and most of the spend quietly disappears.

c.

An agency costs an arm and a leg.

"We'll do it all for you" ends up costing the same as someone on-site on the tools - but don't pay for themselves in the end.

And you're probably reading this thinking we're another outfit over-promising too. Fair enough - you've earned the right to be sceptical. So here's exactly what we do for the money, and exactly what we don't.

02 / THE ENGINE

What you're actually paying for.

We're not an ad agency clipping the ticket. We're the marketing department you don't have.

STAGE 01

We do the groundwork

Every day our team runs the system, ads, the brand and the search ranking that's taken 19 years to build - so Builderscrack is the name Kiwis reach for when something needs doing.

STAGE 02

Homeowners come to us

A homeowner tells us what they need, in their own words. We check it's a real job, and we already know where you work and what you do.

STAGE 03

The work comes to you

We put that job in front of you. You look at it and you decide if its right. No advertising, no marketing, no cold calls. It just turns up.

The Builderscrack team in New Zealand
The actual people doing the groundwork - a local team in NZ, not an algorithm and a call centre.

Nobody resents what a good tool costs, because you can see it working in your hands.

This is ours - out in the open. The money goes into bringing Kiwi homeowners to your door. That's the whole deal.

Straight from the tools

Don't take our word for it.

Real Kiwi tradies, in their own words, on what Builderscrack actually does for their business - the work, the leads, the reputation.

03 / THE ROLE

A pillar of your operation.
Not the hero of your story.

// we do one thing, and we do it well

We're not promising to transform your business or turn you into a brand. You've already got a business. What you need is for the work to keep turning up, so you can get on and do it properly.

That's the whole job. Builderscrack sits in the background of a well-run trade operation - like the supplier who always has the stock or the subbie that always comes through - and quietly carries its weight.

Head down. Game on. We'll keep the work coming.
