Trust Accounting Software for Builders in Australia
About Us
With the recent changes to the BIF Act, effective from 1 July 2024, the trust account framework now mandates Project Trust Accounts (PTAs) for certain eligible contracts and Retention Trust Accounts (RTAs) for holding cash retentions. The responsibility for managing these accounts lies with the trustee (typically the head contractor or builder), who must ensure compliance with strict record-keeping, transaction management, and reporting requirements. The QBCC regulates this framework, and BuildTrust is designed to help both trustees and accounting firms simplify these obligations.
BuildTrust is a cloud-based, purpose-built statutory trust accounting software specifically developed to help trustees (head contractors/builders) efficiently manage PTAs and RTAs in one platform, ensuring full compliance with the BIF Act and QBCC requirements on Trust accounting.

Why Us?
With the recent changes to the BIF Act from 1 March 2021 introduced a new trust account framework that requires project trust accounts (PTAs) for certain (eligible) contracts and retention trust accounts (RTAs) for holding eligible cash retention amounts. Most of the responsibilities under the new framework lie with the trustee (generally head contactor/builder), who is responsible for managing the trust account(s). The QBCC is responsible for regulating the new trust framework and BuildTrust can help both the trustees and Accounting Firms to simplify these requirements.
BuildTrust is cloud based, purpose built statutory trust accounting software designed for the trustees (head contractors/builders) to manage Project Trust Accounts (PTA) and Retention Trust Accounts (RTA) at one place.
