If you’re in the Ashburton suburbs and want a Builderscrack alternative that offers more fairness, transparency, and balance, our gig platform is the solution. We’ve removed lead and success fees completely, helping specialists offer better prices and clients receive authentic, cost-effective quotes.

Both individuals and businesses can create accounts to offer or request services. Whether you’re a self-employed tradie in Hampstead or a resident looking for repairs in Netherby, the platform connects people quickly and efficiently without unnecessary fees.

Posting jobs is free and easy. Specialists can respond at no cost, with activity levels determined by their user rating. This encourages professionalism and ensures that well-rated service providers can engage more frequently.

Our two-way rating system is designed to keep the community trustworthy. Clients can review specialists after jobs are completed, and specialists can also rate clients, helping both sides build credible profiles for future connections.

Communication happens entirely through our secure internal chat system, allowing project details to stay organised and private without requiring personal contact information.

The platform’s interface is built with New Zealanders in mind, optimised for both desktop and mobile devices, making it convenient for Ashburton locals to post, respond to, or manage jobs anywhere and anytime.

For the text above, please note that:

Users can post as many tasks as they need, however the posted jobs would still need to go through the moderation process before they can appear on the platform;
To protect users from spam, the specialist would not be able to respond to every single job at the platform (their response quotas would depend on the rating tier they are on);
We do not have any subscription fees as of today, but we do plan to introduce different plans at a later stage (however, the core features like free posting, free chat and no lead/success fees would remain);
