What it actually is

A flat $5,000 to bring your business into this decade.

The Construction Business Advancement Grant is a Queensland Government grant of $5,000 for construction businesses and sole traders. The money goes toward recognised business management software and the training to actually use it, the systems that most tradies never get around to because they're flat out on the tools.

It's statewide and the spots are limited. The government hasn't published the opening date or the full rules yet, and it's expected to run as a ballot, so the businesses in the running are the ones assessed and fully prepared before it opens.

Amount
$5,000, flat. Designed with little to no co-contribution.

Who
QLD construction businesses and sole traders. Final rules pending.
How it's won
Statewide, limited spots, likely a ballot. Being ready and eligible is what counts.
What the money builds

An office that runs itself while you're on the tools.

The grant funds business software and training. Here's what that looks like when it's an AI back-office trained on your business, doing the admin that eats your nights.

Catches the calls you miss

Up a ladder and the phone rings out? It answers, takes the details, books them in, and texts you the job. That missed call was someone else's job by tomorrow.

Quotes from a voice note

Walk the job talking into your phone, or send a couple of site photos, and a proper quote comes back drafted. You check it and hit send from the ute.

Chases the money

Invoice drafts itself off the quote and chases the unpaid ones on its own. The cash that sits in inboxes for three weeks starts landing.

Builds your reviews

Asks the happy customer for a review at the right moment, one tap for them. Your stars grow, and they're real, no gating.

Straight answers

The questions builders ask us

What is the QLD Construction Business Advancement Grant?

A Queensland Government grant of $5,000 for eligible construction businesses and sole traders, put toward business management software and training. It's statewide, limited in number, and expected to run as a ballot. The final opening date and full eligibility rules haven't been published yet.

Who is eligible?

It's aimed at Queensland construction businesses and sole traders. The government hasn't published the final rules yet, including exactly which trade classifications qualify, so nobody can confirm your eligibility for certain. We assess your business against what's known and tell you straight where you stand.

What can you spend the $5,000 on?

Recognised business management software and training. An AI back-office setup, the software plus training your crew, is designed to fit what the grant funds. The final approved list comes with the guidelines.

When does it open, and how do I get it?

No date is published yet, and it's expected to run as a ballot with limited spots. Get on the waitlist and we prepare your whole application in advance so you can submit it from your own login the moment it opens.

Is it really $0 out of pocket?

The grant is designed to cover the setup and software for eligible businesses, and the automation runs on a simple monthly plan after that. Whether it's genuinely $0 out of pocket depends on your eligibility and the final guidelines, which we check first. We don't promise approval, nobody can.

Straight up about this grant

The Construction Business Advancement Grant hasn't opened yet and the government hasn't published the date or the full eligibility rules. We can't promise you'll get it, nobody can. What we can do is get you assessed and your application fully prepared, ready for you to submit the instant it opens, which is what counts when spots are limited.

The grant funds recognised business software and training. We set that up and train your crew, then the ongoing AI back-office runs on a simple monthly plan once the setup's done. Your compliance and records are yours, the system just makes logging and finding them dead easy.

If it turns out you don't qualify, we'll tell you straight, and point you to the free advisory support that's available right now instead.
