BuildTom

Construction needs, brought together

BuildTom connects people looking for construction materials, equipment, tools, machinery and scrap with the people advertising them. Compare ads, contact advertisers directly, or post an ad to sell, buy or rent.

How do I find what I need?

Browse a section or search for a material or item of equipment. Choose a city and ad type to narrow your results. Compare specifications, condition and price, then ask the advertiser whether the item is still available.

How do I post an ad?

Sign in and choose to post for yourself or your company. Add a clear description, location and accurate photos. You will see the available posting and payment options before submitting for review. Submitting an ad or paying its fee does not mean it is approved for publication.

Can I advertise for my company?

Yes, once the company's details and review are complete and you have permission to post on its behalf. Choose the company account when posting and keep its details up to date. A personal account alone does not authorize you to represent a company.

Set up a company account

What does posting cost?

The plans page has current details for Regular ads, Premium Direct and subscriptions. Options available to your account and ad appear when you post. These fees cover BuildTom services, not the item price you agree with the advertiser.

Plans and prices

How do I contact an advertiser?

Open the ad and use its available contact options. Confirm the item, price and arrangements with the advertiser. Do not share passwords or one-time login codes, and keep a record of the agreement.

Read safe-dealing guidance

What is BuildTom responsible for?

BuildTom hosts ads and supports discovery, contact and platform moderation. It is not the buyer or seller and does not provide escrow, delivery or a guarantee of the item or the deal. The parties arrange inspection, item payment, delivery and any applicable agreement directly.
