How it works
Problem → fixed.One page.
Step 01
Scope it
Guided questions for your exact job — two minutes, photos welcome. Safety flags fire early: gas smells and sparking switchboards jump the queue.
- No blank text box staring at you
- Photos mean pricing without a site visit
- Urgent jobs are flagged urgent
Step 02
Quote it
Tradies covering your postcode price the job in writing — labour, materials, GST itemised. Capped at five quotes, so your phone stays quiet.
- Licensed work only goes to licence-checked tradies
- Written quotes on the record
- Compare side by side, no callbacks
Step 03
Book it
Accept with a code we text you. The schedule, messages and the invoice live together on one job page — start to paid.
- One-tap accept with SMS confirmation
- Other quotes stood down politely
- GST invoice lands on the same page
Why we’re different
We check licences.Most platforms don’t.
Plumbing, electrical, gas and pest work are licensed in Victoria. Before a tradie can quote those jobs here, their licence details are reviewed — and verified tradies carry the badge on every quote.
