Why KeyTrade
Quality control before the first quote.
A marketplace is only useful when the job brief and the tradie match are both strong. KeyTrade is designed around that handover.
Fewer irrelevant responses
Your job is matched to a controlled group rather than broadcast into a crowded lead marketplace.
Clearer questions and quotes
The brief, supporting files and tradie questions stay attached to the job so important detail is not lost.
Business details before quoting
Tradies provide business, service-area and relevant licence or insurance information for the job owner to review.

General
Project owners — building managers, strata managers, facilities teams, homeowners with larger projects — who need qualified, compliant tradies. And specialist tradies who run proper, compliant businesses and want quality work without the race to the bottom.
We collect and review business details, licences, insurance and relevant documents before a tradie joins the active network. Owners should still review the tradie and quote for their specific job before accepting.
