TradeBox is your solution for streamlined trade terms and conditions, tailored specifically for Australian construction subcontractors and trade contractors. Developed in collaboration with a leading Australian building and construction law practice and shaped by insights direct from trade contractors, TradeBox offers unparalleled convenience, legal compliance and trade-specific relevance for your business.
TradeBox provides contract terms and conditions (contracts) to our trade contractor customers. Our contracts are specifically written for trade contractors, not builders. We engage an Australian building and construction law practice to craft the templates that we use to produce our contract product packages for our TradeBox customers (being our contracts, additional supporting documents and guidance documents).
TradeBox's additional special sauce is its additional terms and conditions, that can be chosen by you to be added to the core terms and conditions. This can help you further fit the contracts you get from us to the needs and requirements of your business.
We call these additional terms and conditions "schedules". The "Trade Schedules" are crafted in consultation with trade contractors, to reflect the unique needs and requirements of the trades they've been written for. This is because the crafting of trade-specific terms requires the unique combination of years of trade contractor experience, with years of construction law experience. The only way that TradeBox can provide trade-specific contract terms and conditions that cover real trade issues, is by getting the building and construction law practice to listen to TradeBox’s tradie customers.
Our other business-focused schedules have been crafted to meet particular business needs you may have for your business, and are called "Specific Clauses Schedules". Some of these business-focused schedules we have available include Material Price Increases, Installation of Supplied Building Products, and Construction Plant.
The option to add schedules is available on TradeBox's Focus and Ultimate contract products. Up to three schedules can be added to Focus and up to six schedules can be added to Ultimate contract products.
Developed with a leading Australian building and construction law practice.

"How easy was it to adopt the TradeBox terms into your business? TradeBox is the most simplistic way to ensure your business stays in tune with current legislation. We find it has been an excellent fit into our business because we complete both small and large projects which the terms of trade need to be up to date to cover you in every aspect should the project not go to plan.
How do you feel about how the trade schedule covers the trade aspects of your business? When working with TradeBox, they ensure you have the right schedules to cover all aspects of your business and furthermore, you are compliant and covered.
Would you recommend TradeBox to other trade contractors and subcontractors? If so, why? It is the easiest way to ensure our team are following the legal process that covers every part of our business, I am extremely happy to recommend TradeBox to all of my associates in trade."
