For merchants
Local jobs, priced and won — without the phone tag.
Builders near your branches send complete materials lists from real jobs. Price the lines you want in one portal, win the order, and get paid out through Stripe. No listings, no subscriptions, no fees.
How it works
From enquiry to payout
- 1
An enquiry arrives
A builder near you orders a materials list. If you're signed up it lands in your order queue; if not, it arrives by email with a link to quote — no account needed.
- 2
Price the lines
Quote line by line in the portal — your price per unit, your delivery charge. Skip lines you don't stock; you're never forced to price the whole list.
- 3
Win the order
The builder compares every quote side by side and accepts the best lines. Accepted lines become an order in your queue, with the delivery address on it.
- 4
Deliver and get paid
Fulfil the order and update its status — the builder sees it live. Payment is by card through Stripe and paid out to you.
The merchant side
A selling lens, not another marketplace
Compare Materials brings the demand — you keep your counter, your prices and your patch.
Your patch, on a map
Draw your service area and only get enquiries for sites you actually deliver to.
Quote portal
Every enquiry is a ready-made materials list — price it in minutes, line by line, delivery included.
Order queue
Won orders land in one queue with statuses the builder sees live — accepted, shipped, delivered.
Stripe payouts
Builders pay by card up front; you're paid out through Stripe. No chasing invoices.
No fees, ever
No listing fees, no subscription, and nothing taken out of the orders you win. Compare Materials is free to sell on.
Talk on the quote
Questions about spec or delivery happen right on the quote, so the paper trail stays with the job.
Why it's worth it
Demand from real jobs, not tyre-kickers
Every enquiry is a real materials list from a real site in your delivery area — created by a builder who is ready to order. You see the whole list up front and choose what to price.
- Complete lists with quantities and units, not vague asks
- Site postcode and delivery address on every enquiry
- Compete on the lines you're strong on — skip the rest
