Before you post
A clear job description is useful even before anyone responds: it records the site, your priorities and the questions you need a quote to answer.

Can I post a job from my area?
Yes. FairTrades accepts job requests for the Hawke's Bay areas below. Select an area to carry it into the job form. This shows the locations we support in the form; it does not show tradie availability.
A clearer request gets clearer answers
Show what needs attention
Use photos and a plain description of the issue or project. Include building height, access and any parts of the property that need protection during work.
If the work has essential repairs and optional improvements, list them separately so people can understand what needs pricing first.
