What GoodTradie is
GoodTradie is a free service that finds you a local tradie. You tell us the job, we call you to go over it, then we find one local tradie, check them, and book them to look at the job. We are not a tradie, builder or contractor, and we do not do the work.
The tradie works for you directly
The tradie gives you their own quote and does the work under their own terms. Any agreement about the job, the price or the timing is between you and the tradie. Read the quote and the scope before you say yes. You never have to accept a quote.
How we are paid
GoodTradie is free for you. We are paid by the pros we match you with. You pay the tradie for the job as normal, and only if you take their quote.
The checks we make
Where the trade needs a licence, we look the tradie up on the public register (LBP, EWRB or PGDB) before we book them. For other trades we check they hold insurance. We also check their quote against what the job usually costs in NZ, using published cost guides.
These checks help you choose. They are not a guarantee of the tradie's work, and a price check is a guide, not a valuation. If something goes wrong with a job, talk to the tradie first and let us know as well.
Using the form
Please give accurate details. When you send the form, you agree that we may call you about the job and pass your details to the one tradie we match you with. You can ask us to stop at any time. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your information.
Areas and trades
We cover the trades listed on this site, in the areas where we can find a checked tradie. If we cannot find one for your job, we will tell you.
Your rights under NZ law
Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for the quality, timing or cost of work a tradie does.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms, and we will change the date at the top when we do. Questions: info@goodtradie.co.nz.
