Our story

Built to fix what's
broken in the trades

TradiYard is a Melbourne-based marketplace connecting homeowners with licensed, verified tradespeople. We built it because the existing platforms weren't working — for tradies or for customers.

The problem we saw

Tradies across Melbourne were paying $15–$45 per lead on existing platforms — whether they won the job or not. They were competing against unverified operators who hadn't even checked their licence. Reviews were curated, not honest. Payment disputes were left unresolved for weeks.

Customers weren't doing much better. They'd hire someone who looked good on a platform, only to find out their licence had expired — or worse, they'd have no way to recover their deposit when the job went wrong.

What we built instead

Licence verification
Every tradie is verified against state licensing authority registers — Energy Safe Victoria, VBA, NSW Fair Trading, and more.
Job-verified reviews only
Reviews are only posted by customers who paid for a completed job through TradiYard. No fake reviews. No curated positivity.
🔒
Secure Pay escrow
Customers fund escrow before work starts. Tradies get paid when the job is done. Disputes resolved within 24 hours.
💳
Flat subscription — no lead fees
Tradies pay a flat monthly fee. No per-lead charges. No paying for jobs you don't win.

Where we are now

We launched in Melbourne — starting with inner suburbs and expanding across the city's key renovation corridors. Our founding tradie cohort covers 10 trade fields across 4 Melbourne zones.

Sydney is next. Then Brisbane. Then national. But we're not rushing. We're building this the right way — dense, verified, and trusted — one suburb at a time.
