MyBuilder.ie
Tier S · Published pricesIrish job site where homeowners post work free and tradespeople pay a subscription to find jobs
MyBuilder.ie is a homeowner-to-tradesperson job site covering Ireland by trade and county. Homeowners post jobs for free; tradespeople need a paid Pro subscription, with an optional Elite Pro add-on for more visibility. The site also sells website and profile packages to tradespeople. It describes itself as one channel alongside referrals and local search, not a promise of work.
Pros
- + Homeowners post jobs for free
- + Published subscription prices, monthly or annual
- + Directory by trade and county across Ireland
- + Optional add-ons (Elite Pro, websites) are priced on the site
Cons
- − Subscription is paid whether or not you win work; the site says it does not guarantee leads
- − Operator not named on the site's readable pages
- − Prices do not state whether VAT is included
Ireland note
Ireland-only site with county-based service areas and Irish cost guides. None of the site's readable pages names the company that runs it or any link to MyBuilder UK (mybuilder.com), so treat it as a separate Irish site.
