Become a SMARTBUILD Affiliate Partner

Refer construction clients, and get paid

The program gives consultants who serve construction a new revenue stream. Partners earn passive, recurring income by referring their clients to SMARTBUILD. The partner makes a warm introduction and we handle the rest.

Why Partner

Earn recurring revenue from referrals

Partners earn commission on the construction clients they already advise.

  • Construction Media

What You're Referring

One platform with four purpose-built tools

Each tool is built for a different role on the job, and they work together from day one.

For General Contractors

It puts project management, safety, field reporting, and job-cost financials in one platform, without changing the contractor’s accounting or ERP.

Look for Contractors running several projects, with financials disconnected from the field and safety still on paper.

For Subcontractors

It is affordable construction management built exclusively for subcontractors, so they can run projects on their own terms rather than the GC's.

Look for Subcontractors working inside a GC's Procore with no records of their own, and daily logs and as-builts taking up time.

AI Field Assistant

It records daily logs, safety reports, and site updates by voice in 200+ languages, hands-free from the field.

Look for Crews that skip daily logs, face language barriers on site, or fall behind on safety documents.

For Architects & Engineers

It covers design and contract administration end to end, including RFIs, shop-drawing approvals, inspections, and payment certification.

Look for Firms running contract admin through email, with slow RFI turnaround and GC-focused tools that do not fit.

Built on Microsoft Azure. Integrates with Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Sage and NetSuite.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much can I earn?

Commission is tiered from 10% to 15% of the contract value, based on how many referred contracts close in a given quarter: 10% for 1–4, 12% for 5–14, and 15% for 15 or more. The Tier 2 rate needs 5 closed referrals within the quarter. On an average $15,000/yr contract at 12%, that is about $1,800 per client, with no further work for the partner.

When do I get paid?

Commissions are paid quarterly for the life of each referred contract. We track what has been earned and what is still pending.

What do I actually have to do?

A partner makes a warm introduction to a construction client and sends us a short email to let us know. We handle the demo, onboarding, close, and ongoing support, so the partner has no manual work or setup.

Who is the program for?

It is for businesses that serve the construction industry: IT providers, recruiters, accountants, consultants, and media. Any business that has the trust of construction companies can earn through it.

How are my referrals tracked?

We track every referral end to end, from the introduction through to the close and every commission after it. There is nothing to log into and no data to enter. The partner makes the introduction and lets us know by email.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. Joining is free and needs only one short form, which takes about two minutes.
