Connect the whole supply side of construction
The Build Paperless API works in both directions. Suppliers, manufacturers and overseas building-product vendors publish their catalogue and receive orders. Materials platforms and builder tools read the schedule and materials that drive demand. Every key is scoped to a single organisation, so each party shares exactly what they choose.
One API, four kinds of integrator
The same key model serves the supply side and the demand side of a build. You only ever see your own organisation’s data.
Suppliers & distributors
Publish your catalogue and live pricing so builders select your products in their estimates, then receive the orders they place with you.
Manufacturers & overseas vendors
Get your products in front of Australian builders. Sync catalogues, brands, specifications and lead times from anywhere.
Materials & ordering platforms
Read a builder’s schedule and materials list to time material orders and deliveries to the job.
Builder tools & internal
Builders and their own tooling read their projects, schedule and materials to drive downstream automation.
Publish on one side, order on the other
Supply side — suppliers & manufacturers
/v1/products/v1/products/v1/ordersKeep your SKUs, pricing, stock and lead times current so builders select your products, then read the orders they place. Works the same for an Australian yard or an overseas manufacturer.
Demand side — ordering platforms & builder tools
/v1/projects/v1/projects/{id}/schedule/v1/projects/{id}/materialsTime orders to the job by reading the builder’s schedule and materials at the source. Quantities, units and supplier tags only — the builder’s cost, margin and budget never leave Paperless.
Every response is scoped to the key’s organisation. A supplier sees their own catalogue and orders; a platform sees only the builders that connected to it.
What you can access
Read endpoints are live today. Each maps to a granular scope, so a key carries only the access it was granted.
Catalogue
AvailableFor suppliers and manufacturers: read and keep your product catalogue, pricing, stock and lead times in sync.
catalogue:readOrders
AvailableFor suppliers: read the orders builders place with you, with line items and delivery details.
orders:readProjects
AvailableList a builder’s live projects with status, stage and site address for delivery.
projects:readSchedule
AvailableRead the milestone schedule and dates so you can time orders to the job, not a calendar guess.
schedule:readMaterials
AvailablePull the materials list (estimate line items): description, quantity, unit and supplier tag. No builder cost data.
materials:readWebhooks
BetaRegister endpoints for schedule, materials and order changes. Register now; signed delivery is rolling out.
webhooksOne key, a bearer token, JSON back
No SDK required. Authenticate with your key, call an endpoint, read the JSON. Rate-limit headers on every response tell you exactly where you stand.

}Secure by design
Keys are hashed at rest, scoped to one organisation, and revocable in a click. Suppliers see their own catalogue and orders; platforms see the materials and schedule a builder shared, never the builder’s costs, margins, budget or customer records.
How we secure the APIPricing that scales with you
Suppliers and manufacturers integrate through a Supplier plan plus API access. Platforms serving many builders take a partnership priced per connected builder. Start free in the sandbox either way.
