In this episode of the Build Hatch Podcast, we had the opportunity to hear from Matt Perrott from BuildPass.

In this episode we talk about:

• Matt grew up in Victoria with lots of outside activities and was a hands-on young man.
• After school, he did a Batchelor of commerce with the goals of becoming a Civil Engineer.
• Realising that a career in commerce was not as exciting as first thought, Matt became interested in start-up business’.
• 5 years ago, Matt was in the midst of a social media boom and changed tactics to study software.
• Matt’s software degree was a challenge and at times daunting, however, ‘like anything you bite off small pieces and you will make progress'.
• Matt’s first exposure to the construction tech world.
• Finding a niche, applying existing technology and working towards changing people’s lives.
• The ‘why’ behind BuildPass and the work that they do.
• Matt deliberately spent the first few months of business researching and understanding problems in the construction industry to determine whether his product would actually solve these problems.
• Designing software is the easy part – it is working out whether or not people will actually want the solution you are selling.
• Learning and listening to create a product that will naturally market itself through warm leads rather than hard marketing strategies.
• The practical benefits of using Build Pass as someone who works in construction.
• The more data you can capture in one place, the easier it is to keep records.
• Matt explains the subscription pricing model.
• Keeping current client’s happy before expanding, to ensure longevity and a high-quality product.
• A balanced partner, methodical thinking and a structured systematic rollout has been the key BuildPass’ success thus far.
• QR Codes, ticket wallet integrations, sharing capabilities and the value of these electronic systems.
• Outside of work, Matt is an avid surfer and passionate about his local life-saving clubs.
• The advantages of BuildPass, not only for Builders, but sub-contractors and all other trades.
