Trade
Hiring a tradie, minus the gamble
Three things every other listing site leaves you to figure out yourself.
Really verified
ID, business registration, and — for electricians and plumbers — the real statutory credential (CoC / PIRB). Not just a star rating anyone can farm.
Agreed in writing
Whizz drafts a plain-language agreement for every job — scope, price, deposit, timeline — so both sides know exactly what was agreed before anyone lifts a spanner.
Reviews you can trust
A review only exists after a real customer confirms a real, finished job on the platform. No fakes, no bought stars, no anonymous grudges.
From "who do I even call?" to booked

Questions, answered straight
Does it cost anything to find a pro?+
No. TradeWhizz is completely free for homeowners — search, match, message and agree jobs at no charge. Tradies pay for the business tools; you never do.
What does "verified" actually mean?+
We check ID and business registration for every listed pro. For regulated trades we go further: electricians must hold a valid CoC capability, plumbers a PIRB registration. The badges on a profile show exactly what we confirmed.
How are reviews kept honest?+
A review can only be left after a real job is booked and marked complete on the platform by the customer. No open comment box, no anonymous reviews — so the stars mean something.
Is my job agreement legally useful?+
Whizz drafts a clear, plain-language scope-and-price agreement both parties accept before work starts. It's not a substitute for legal advice, but it means everyone agreed the same thing in writing — which is where most disputes start.
