★Worker stories
Proven on site. Trusted at the gate.
Workers are building a verified record that follows them site to site, and getting credit for every day they show up.
“I tap my card at the gate and I get credit for every day. No phone, no paperwork.”

“For the first time my experience is on paper. New contractors can see it before I even arrive.”

—The daily reality
Good work too often goes unseen.
You show up, you do the job, but there's no record that proves it, so every new site starts from zero.
01
How do I prove the skills and experience I already have?
02
How do contractors know I'm reliable and show up?
03
Why do I start over every time I join a new site?
04
How do I get paid fairly for the days I actually work?

Questions you might have.
Joining and creating a profile is about getting verified and visible to contractors. Your first Buildpal card is free at onboarding. We keep the steps simple and explain any cost up front before you commit.
Buildpal helps contractors find and trust you, and records your work so your reputation grows. It improves your chances of being chosen, but it doesn't guarantee a job.
No. Your Buildpal card lets you clock in at a site reader, so you can record your attendance even without a phone.
You control your profile. Contractors see what they need to make hiring decisions, and you consent to what's shared.
