TradiHub started on a Gold Coast jobsite, not in a startup office.
I'm Sando. I run On-Site Renovations, a two-man chippy crew based on the Gold Coast and working across Brisbane. We do decks, retaining walls, garden beds, alfresco work — mostly reno-grade carpentry for homeowners doing up their place.
For years I sourced jobs through HiPages, Airtasker, and word of mouth. The same problems kept showing up: $80–120 a pop for leads I didn't win, homeowners ghosting after the quote, getting undercut by people without an ABN or insurance, chasing invoices for weeks after the job was done.
One job in particular broke me — a low deck quote in Coorparoo. I paid $94 for the lead. Three other tradies got the same lead the same day. Two ghosted. The homeowner picked the cheapest, who turned out not to have an ABN and underbid by $1,200 because he wasn't paying super or insurance. HiPages kept my $94. The homeowner ended up with a deck that didn't pass council inspection.
That night I started building TradiHub. The whole pitch is three things existing platforms get wrong:
And because I'm a tradie, the platform has tools I actually want — AI quote builder, AI SWMS generator, GPS sign-on for the crew, daily logs that auto-fill timesheets. Built for working tradies, not desk jockeys.
TradiHub Pty Ltd is an Australian-owned and operated business. ABN 60 696 594 027, registered in Queensland. Based on the Gold Coast.
We're bootstrapped — no venture capital, no growth-at-all-costs nonsense. We grow when tradies tell mates the platform actually works. Slow and right, not fast and wrong.
I'm reachable. If something breaks, hit reply on any email or use the contact form and I'll see it. I'm not behind a layer of support staff and never will be while we're small. If a feature you want isn't there, tell me and there's a good chance I'll build it.
