How does TradeNet verify contractors?

All contractors on TradeNet go through a verification process including licence checks, insurance verification, and quality reviews. Builders can also view ratings and reviews from previous projects.

How does the TradeNet platform work?

TradeNet works in four simple steps: 1) Builders post their project requirements including trade needed, timeline, and budget. 2) Our platform instantly matches the project with qualified, vetted contractors in the area. 3) Contractors review the job and submit competitive quotes. 4) The builder selects their preferred contractor and work begins, with progress tracking and payment management built in.

How are contractors vetted on TradeNet?

Every contractor on TradeNet goes through a thorough verification process. We verify their QBCC licence, check their insurance coverage, review their work history, and confirm their trade qualifications. Once approved, contractors are continuously monitored through our rating system where builders provide feedback after each project.

How does TradeNet's quoting system work?

When a builder posts a project, qualified contractors in the relevant trade and area receive a notification. They can view the full project details — scope, timeline, location, and budget range — then submit a detailed quote. Builders can compare multiple quotes side by side, review contractor ratings and past work, and select the best fit for their project.

Is my project information kept confidential on TradeNet?

Yes, project details are only shared with verified contractors who match your trade and area requirements. Your contact information is not shared until you accept a quote and choose to proceed with a contractor. All data is encrypted and stored securely in compliance with Australian privacy regulations.

What happens if I need to cancel or change a project?

You can modify or cancel a project at any time before accepting a quote. Once a quote is accepted, any changes are managed between you and the contractor through our platform's messaging system. TradeNet provides support for scope changes, timeline adjustments, and dispute resolution if needed.
