# Custom forms (/docs/features/custom-forms)



If the form you need is not in the public library, use **Request a template**.

You can request:

* A shared template suggestion that may become public
* A private custom template for your business

Custom templates can be compliance, daily operational, or customer-facing paperwork.

## Where to request a template [#where-to-request-a-template]

Use **Request a template** from:

* [**Templates**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/templates)
* **New form** when there is no good match
* [**Support**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/help)
* Related template pages

You need to be signed in.

## Request types [#request-types]

| Type                                | Who can use it                    | Notes                                                                   |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Shared template**                 | May become available to all users | Best for common state, trade, or industry paperwork                     |
| **Custom template for my business** | Private to your account or team   | One-off build quote from $59 AUD, plus Solo or Team while it stays live |

Final build pricing depends on the PDF, number of fields, signatures, tables, calculations, and special download needs. Your plan keeps the template available for your workspace.

## What to include [#what-to-include]

Add:

* State and trade
* Template name
* Why you need it
* Who receives or lodges the finished PDF
* Whether it should be public or private
* A PDF sample if you have one

PDF attachments must be 10 MB or smaller.

## What happens next [#what-happens-next]

1. Tradie Forms receives the request
2. We review the PDF, scope, and pricing
3. We follow up if anything is unclear
4. Once built and enabled, the template appears in **Templates**

Private templates require Solo or Team because they use cloud drafts and account access.
