Independent and on your side

Built by people who've dealt with dodgy tradies too

needatradie started with a simple gripe: finding a good tradie shouldn't mean handing your number to five strangers and bracing for the phone to ring.

Most quote sites make money by selling your job to as many businesses as they can. The more tradies who buy your details, the more they earn. That's why one online form can turn into a week of sales calls.

We do it the other way around. You tell us about the job once, and we match you with one local who's right for it. We've already checked their licence, their insurance and their reviews, so the hard part is done before they ever reach out.

What we stand for

We're independent, we're Australian, and we're on the homeowner's side. A few simple rules keep us honest:

  • One match, not ten You get matched with a single local who suits the job, not handed to a pile of sales teams.
  • We never sell your details Your number stays with us. You hear from one tradie, on your terms, and only when you're ready.
  • Checked before they reach you Every tradie is licence-checked, insurance-confirmed and ABN-verified, with reviews from real, completed jobs.
  • Free for homeowners, always You only ever pay your tradie for the work. We make our money from the trade side, never from you.
