Fair for tradies

We built FairTrades after paying for too many dead-end leads. Plans are upfront, and you only invest when the work suits your crew.

Fair for homeowners

Clear job posts, easy-to-compare quotes, and the freedom to choose the tradie that fits. That is exactly what we wanted for our own projects.

Built with your feedback

Share what works and what does not. Every update we ship is shaped by homeowners and tradies using the platform.

Bring your next project to life.
