Bright Spark Electrical says temporary site power is done. Inspect and sign it off.

A builder's board for one site: stages, jobs and where each is up to

What changes

A whiteboard, a spreadsheet and a group chat that half the trades have muted.

One board per site. Every job, who's on it and where it's up to.

Agreeing prices on the phone and hoping everyone remembers the same number.

Offers and counters in writing, on the job, before anyone starts.

Driving to site to see if the plumber has actually finished.

Trades tick off steps and add photos. You get the update when it happens.

Chasing a tiler for a job starting in a fortnight.

Post it to the jobs board and licensed trades nearby bid on it.

What you get

Everything below is built and working in the beta today.

Build board
Stages left to right, jobs inside them, and links for the jobs that can't start until another is done.
Job offers
Offer a job to a business with a price and how it's charged. They accept, counter or pass.
Jobs board
Post the jobs you don't have a trade for. Approved businesses bid, you pick.
Job templates
Start a job from a step list (measure, rough-in, fit-off) or save your own.

Sign-off and payment
Inspect finished work, sign it off or send it back, and record when it's paid.
Ratings both ways
Rate each trade on time and quality after a paid job, and see how trades rate you before they take your jobs.

Questions people ask

What does it cost?
Nothing while Handy is in beta.
Can I bring my own trades?
Yes. Offer jobs to the businesses you already use. If they're not on Handy yet, they can list their business in a few minutes.
Do trades see all my jobs and prices?
Trades on a site can see its schedule so they can plan around each other, and you can switch that off for any project. Offers and prices stay between you and each business.
Is every trade licensed?
Every business lists its licence and ABN, and each listing is checked by a person. Confirm a licence on the NSW Fair Trading licence check before work starts.
