Prototype note. Every level is a tender. What changes is who turns the drawings into something a builder can price — you, us, or us and the QS. All prices are VAT-inclusive and shown together, with the subscription's minimum term and £120 minimum total next to the price: CMA209 price transparency, and from January 2027 the DMCC subscription regime as well.

Before you start

A working prototype, and our thinking alongside it

Nothing here is connected — no payment is taken, no drawings are uploaded and nothing is saved. It exists so you can see exactly how a tender would run before we build it, and tell us where it is wrong.

The brass panels are our working notes

One sits at the top of every screen. They explain why each screen is built the way it is, what we think is still wrong with it, and where the commercial and legal risks sit. We would rather show you the reasoning than the polish.

Three views, top right

Client view is what a self-builder sees. Partner view is what you would see as a Trusted Partner. SBM admin is our side — fees, collection rates and the things that go wrong.

Each numbered step is a screen. Click straight to any of them, in any order.

Best on a laptop

It works on a phone, but the tender comparison table is much easier to read on a larger screen.

Choose your level

Get your build priced properly

Get your project priced by vetted builders. Put your own drawings on the board for £40 a month, or let us build the tender pack so every builder prices the same schedule — and you compare builders rather than guessing at what each one left out.

Before you buy — three things we tell everyone

Partners pay us if you pick them

A fixed fee, shown on every quote you receive. It is set by contract value band, not as a percentage, so it cannot grow with your build.

You can't reclaim the VAT

The DIY Housebuilders Scheme covers materials and certain services. Professional fees, including ours, are excluded.

We are never party to your build contract

You contract directly with the builder you choose. We run the tender, we do not manage the project.

Pull, not push — and the moment that sells the upgrade. Listed projects go to a board partners browse, never to their inbox; only Tendered and Measured get a direct invitation, which is what keeps an invitation worth opening. And look at the returns below: three prices, three formats, three different scopes. The client lives the problem the £450 level solves, which converts far better than any feature table.

Entry level · £40 per month · you do the work

Listed

Your drawings, in front of vetted builders, for as long as you keep the project live. We publish and we gate access — we do not build a pack, and we do not normalise what comes back.

How partners see it

Board listing PH2 · Perthshire — new build, 248 m²

Timber frame, larch & render · planning granted 24-01887-FLL · budget £400k–£475k · target start March 2027

Client's own drawings · no tender pack · no pricing template · 1 of 3 access slots remaining

The completeness gate is automated, not a person. Planning granted or referenced, plans + sections + elevations present, budget range stated. That is what keeps the board worth browsing without costing SBM any labour.

What came back

Partner	Format	Price	Covers
Hartwell Construction	PDF, own template	£462,250	Full build, 16 qualifications
Craigend Homes	Spreadsheet	£401,800	Excludes windows, kitchen, external works
R&J Ballantyne	Letter + rate schedule	£455,000 "circa", subject to survey	Not stated

These three prices are £60,450 apart and you cannot tell why — because each builder priced a different job, on their own template, with their own exclusions. That is what Listed gets you, and we say so before you buy. Upgrade to Tendered and all six price the same schedule against the same headings.

Access log

This table is worth £22,000 a year in the base case. A partner who browsed to a project has a far better "we found them ourselves" argument than one who was invited — so taking the drawings has to mean accepting the fee, the pre-existing-relationship declaration and non-circumvention, at that moment, logged. Gate it properly and Listed fees collect like managed ones. Leave it open and they do not.

Why this level exists

At £40 it is 6% of base-case revenue and takes 11.9 months to match one £450 tender. It earns its place by converting — 30% of Listed clients upgrade in the base case — and by generating success fees on the ones that award straight off the board.

The compliance-critical screen. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 there is no bespoke exemption for services — a made-to-order BoQ still carries the 14-day cancellation right. Reg 36(6) means that if the two boxes below are missing, pre-ticked, or bundled into one, the client pays nothing even after the QS has done the work. Reg 31 extends that window to 12 months if disclosure was defective. This is the screen to get a solicitor to sign off.

How we are paid by partners

If you select a partner through the portal, that partner pays us a fixed fee. The fee is shown on every quote you receive, before you choose. It is banded by contract value:

£60k–£100k — £2,000
£100k–£250k — £3,000
£250k–£500k — £5,000
£500k–£1m — £7,500
a further package on the same project — half band

The fee reflects our work, not your contract value — so it is banded, not a percentage, and it cannot grow with your build. We do not rank, order or filter quotes by anything commercial.

Two risks handled on one screen. Copyright in architectural drawings sits with the architect, not the client who paid for them — and the platform copies, stores and transmits to every bidder, so it is a primary infringer if unlicensed. Hence the warranty, and the architect-consent request. Separately, the automated redaction pass strips metadata and title-block names — it reduces casual leakage but is not an anonymity guarantee, and the copy on this screen deliberately never claims one.

Reference only — not issued

Your identity is not secret, and we won't pretend otherwise. Your site address has to be on the drawings or no builder can price groundworks or access. That address is searchable on your council's public planning register, which publishes applicant names. What we control is your contact details — we never pass those on. Partners are contractually bound not to approach you outside the portal.

Rights to distribute

I own, or hold a licence sufficient to grant, the right for Self Build Mentor to copy, store and issue these drawings to prospective contractors for the purpose of obtaining tenders for this project. My architect's or designer's fees are paid in full and no suspension notice is in force.

Architect or designer (we'll ask them to confirm consent — one click, one email)

Send a consent request to my architect. Recommended — it removes almost all of the copyright risk for the cost of an email, and most architects want their scheme tendered accurately.

Both warranties are required before we can issue drawings.

This is the actual product. Not the software — the pack. The fixed pricing template is what makes four builders' returns comparable, and it is the only reason a self-builder would pay for this rather than emailing three builders themselves. It is also manual work and will be the bottleneck at 40 projects a year. Budget real time for it.

Sealed means sealed — including from SBM. Bids are encrypted until the deadline and invisible to Self Build Mentor's own staff, audit-logged, with no editing after close. That is what keeps a multi-bidder platform on the right side of Chapter I of the Competition Act. Telling a bidder "you're a bit high" is the hub-and-spoke conduct that has produced eight-figure CMA fines in construction.

Prices stay sealed until the deadline. Nobody — including us — can see a figure before then.

The money screen — and the fee disclosure screen. The fee line is on every card, in the same size as everything else, before any selection is made. Undisclosed commission inside a quoted price is a misleading omission under the DMCC Act 2024, which the CMA has been actively enforcing since February 2026 with fines up to 10% of turnover. Disclosing it here is also a weapon: nobody else in the market shows their fee at all.

Compare

Four tenders returned

All four priced the same Bill of Quantities against the same headings. Differences below are real differences in price and scope, not differences in how each builder chose to present things.

How we're paid. If you select a partner, that partner pays Self Build Mentor a fixed fee of £5,000 (the £250k–£500k band). It is shown on each tender below. It is the same for all four, so it cannot influence which one is cheapest, and we do not order or rank these cards by anything commercial — they are shown lowest price first.

What Allan would point out

Craigend is £60k cheaper on the face of it — but they have excluded windows. Add those back at the BoQ rate and the four are within £33,000 of each other — and Craigend still has to buy windows, on a programme 21 weeks longer, unable to start until June. Fleming include their own frame and can start in March. This paragraph is the reason someone pays £2,400 for this, and it is written by a human, not the software.

Two gates, and only one of them is technical. The client is never contractually barred from contacting a builder directly — a term like that is very likely unfair under CRA 2015 s.62 and unenforceable anyway. All circumvention protection lives in the partner agreement, where it is a freely negotiated B2B term. The client-side gate is a courtesy and a workflow step, not a legal control.

Your next three steps

Meet on site and walk the tender qualifications line by line — particularly the crane access assumption.
Appoint a principal contractor and principal designer in writing. This is a multi-contractor project, so CDM 2015 duties pass to them, and the Building Regulations competence duties apply to all work in England since October 2023.
Use a JCT Building Contract for a Home Owner/Occupier. Note that as a residential occupier you have no automatic right to statutory adjudication under s.106 of the Construction Act — worth understanding before you sign.

Also unlocked

Your project stays hosted for 12 months. You can run a further package to tender at no extra listing charge.

Upsell that writes itself

A client at this exact moment is the warmest possible prospect for Silver mentoring — they have a builder, a start date and 41 weeks of decisions ahead. This screen should carry that offer.

One thing we need from you

Would you buy this, and at these prices?

The three levels, the £40 a month, the £450 and the £2,400 are all still open. If a price is wrong, or a level is missing, now is the time to say so. Reply to the email this came from, or call Allan on 07596 874720.

This screen is the whole commercial argument for the Trusted Partner Network — and it shows the two channels. Direct invitations are pushed and stay rare; the board is pulled and carries the £40/month listings. Keeping them separate is what stops a no-effort tier debasing the notification that membership actually buys.

Terms of this tender

Success fee — £5,000 fixed (£250k–£500k band). Payable only if this client contracts with us for this project. £750 on selection, unlocking the introduction; £4,250 on contract signature. The fee does not change with the contract value inside the band. Declaration. I confirm Fleming Homes has no pre-existing relationship with the client or this project, and had not been approached about it before this invitation. Declared now, at bid stage — not later. Non-circumvention, 24 months. If we contract with this client for this project after accessing it here, the fee is payable whether or not the introduction came through the portal. The consequence is the fee that would have been due plus reasonable costs — never more, so it cannot be struck out as a penalty. Independent pricing. This price is arrived at independently. We have not disclosed it to, or received pricing from, any other bidder, and we are not submitting a cover price.

Qualifications and exclusions — shown to the client on the comparison

How long you spent pricing this Asked deliberately. It is the evidence that the BoQ upgrade earns its price.

Your price is sealed on submission. It cannot be seen by the client, by other bidders, or by Self Build Mentor staff until 17:00 on 18 September, and it cannot be edited after that.

You will never be told

What anyone else has bid
Whether you are high or low
A range, a benchmark, or a hint

Passing that information between competing bidders is hub-and-spoke conduct under the Competition Act. It carries fines of up to 10% of worldwide turnover and director disqualification.

The moment the whole model turns on. The proposed version asked for 3–4% — £16,800 here — from a builder who has never met the client and has no signed contract. Staging it at £750 now and £4,250 on signature keeps the gate but makes the ask payable. In the pilot, the number to instrument above all others is what proportion of that £4,250 balance actually arrives.

One thing we need from you

Would you actually bid on this?

That is the only question that matters at this stage. If the answer is no, we would much rather know now — the fee, the number of bidders, the pack, the timescales and the payment points are all still open. Reply to the email this came from, or call Allan on 07596 874720.

The only number that decides whether this works. Two thirds of base-case revenue is success fee — self-reported, hard to detect, and paid by the party with every incentive not to pay it. Collection rate is the metric to instrument from tender one, and to review at 10 awards, not 100. Everything else on this dashboard is decoration by comparison.
