QuickQuote is a two-sided marketplace that connects homeowners with verified local tradies. A homeowner posts a job — describing the work, uploading images, and setting location — and receives quotes from up to three local tradies, with no spam and no obligation to hire. Tradies manage incoming leads, quotes, and their business profile through a dedicated dashboard, with onboarding, verification, and subscription plans on the supply side.

Challenge & solution

The challenge

Finding and hiring a trustworthy local tradie is slow, fragmented, and hard to compare. QuickQuote set out to remove that friction for homeowners while giving professionals a structured channel for qualified work.

Business challenges

  • Homeowners have no centralized way to discover, compare, and gather competitive quotes from trustworthy local tradies.
  • Getting multiple quotes traditionally means chasing individual providers one by one, which slows decisions and adds friction.
  • Tradies lack a reliable channel for qualified job leads and spend effort tracking scattered opportunities.
  • No single system ties job discovery, quoting, verification, and hiring together for both sides of the market.

Technical challenges

  • Building a genuine two-sided marketplace where customer job posts and tradie supply stay matched in real time.
  • Routing each job to the most relevant professionals through semantic matching rather than broadcasting indiscriminately.
  • Supporting structured job posts with image uploads and location detail while keeping the posting flow low-friction.
  • Layering onboarding, verification, and subscription logic on top of the core matching engine without complicating either role's experience.

Our solution
