Your plan and verified badge are activated — you'll get a WhatsApp confirmation.
Every paying member — whether you're on a platform plan (Pro or Business), a listing boost (Featured or Premium), or a once-off upgrade (Enhanced R55 or Showcase R350). Before the badge goes live we confirm your CIPC registration and, where applicable, NHBRC and CIDB details. Free Starter listings don't carry the badge — that's what makes it meaningful to clients.
Enhanced is the entry step: for R55 once-off you get the verified badge, a downloadable PDF company profile, and your card shown above basic listings. Showcase includes all of that plus your logo and direct contact details — a one-tap WhatsApp button, website link and clickable email — so clients reach you instantly instead of enquiring through BuildCape.
Yes. Your company name, description, trades and areas appear in marketplace searches at no cost, forever, and client enquiries reach you through BuildCape. The once-off R350 Showcase Unlock adds your logo, direct WhatsApp button, website and email so clients can contact you instantly.
They do different jobs. Featured (R450/mo) is marketing — it pins your listing to the top when clients search your trade. Pro (R299/mo) is your back office — JBCC claims, payroll, forms and compliance tools. Many members run both.
Pay for the year upfront and save 20% — Pro works out to R239/month (R2 870.40/year) and Business to R559/month (R6 710.40/year). Use the Monthly/Annual toggle above to switch the payment buttons.
Yes. Monthly plans have no contracts — cancel and you keep access until the end of your paid period. Once-off purchases (Showcase, Combo) are yours for good.
No. Posting a project and receiving quotes is completely free for homeowners and developers — that's what keeps real work flowing to our contractors.
The Business Starter Combo was built exactly for you — Mari walks you through CIPC, SARS, CIDB, UIF and COIDA registration step by step, then sets you up on the platform. Read the free registration guide first if you want to see what's involved.
