Built for tradies & subbies
Don't get
stitched up.
Check out a client before you quote. Sparkies, plumbers, chippies, tilers, concreters, painters: look up any homeowner, builder or property manager before you pick up a tool.

Who it's for
For
Tradies and subcontractors who get paid after the work is done.
Not for
Homeowners looking up tradies. There are plenty of review sites for that. This one's for the other side.
It's not just the big builders.
Everyone's heard about the builder that went under owing subbies millions. That's real. But it's not what gets most of us.
What gets most of us is Joe Citizen. A bathroom, a deck, a switchboard upgrade. A $3,000 to $5,000 job for a homeowner who was all smiles at the quote — and stops answering the phone the day the work is done.
No company to wind up. No register to check. Just you, out of pocket, chasing it on a Saturday. Tradeclaw is built to check Joe before you start, not after.
