Company

We build for
the builders.

Ready Team was founded by a business operator and a defence engineer who were tired of watching builders use software built for everyone else. Everything we make is designed around how Australian construction actually works.

Our story

Two founders. Two industries. One shared problem.

Stephen Rockmann spent two decades running hospitality businesses, Gus's Cafe and Tongue and Groove, managing up to 140 staff across complex, high-pressure operations. He understood what it meant to run a business where every hour and every dollar counted. When he moved into construction, he found the same problems he'd seen in hospitality, only worse: disconnected systems, delayed information, and teams making decisions on data that was always one step behind.

Mitesh Patel came from a completely different world. Defence architecture. Cyber. The kind of rigorous, systematic thinking that doesn't tolerate gaps in information or broken handoffs. He got his builder's licence, built homes from first principles, and spent six years sitting alongside 45+ builders to understand what they actually needed, not what a software company assumed they needed.

Together, they built Ready Team AI. Not a generic project management tool dressed up for construction. A platform designed from the ground up around the reality of running a building business in Australia: AISC compliance, PAYG, subcontractor chains, progress claims, invoice chaos, and margin pressure on every single job.

Bob and Betty launched in 2024. On the day we activated them, we processed 1,800 invoices in the first 24 hours. Builders who turned them on averaged 156 minutes saved per week in their first month.

Values

What we believe.

Built for builders
Made for Australian builders, specifically. Every feature is designed for the way this industry actually works.
Real-time or nothing
Delayed data is useless. Everything in Ready Team is live, job costs, schedules, approvals. If it's not current, it's not in the product.
Quiet confidence
Good software doesn't shout. It works. The best thing Bob & Betty can do is handle everything without you noticing.
Builders run Australia
Tradespeople and builders built this country. They deserve software at the level of the biggest enterprises, without the enterprise price.
No lock-in
Your data is yours. Export it anytime. Cancel anytime. We'd rather keep you because the product's great than because leaving is hard.
Obsessively Australian
AISC, NCC, SAS Award, PAYG, BAS, we build for the actual regulatory and commercial environment Australian builders operate in.
