We've removed every friction point in hiring a tradie — the phone tag, the no-shows, the chasing invoices, the dodgy cash deals.

Why Quovr

Built different
from the ground up.

Every existing platform stops at the quote. Quovr handles the entire job — start to finish.

Photo measurement

The biggest friction point in getting a renovation quote is not knowing your dimensions. Quovr removes it entirely — point your camera at a room, Quovr estimates the m² and builds a full cost breakdown instantly. No other platform in Australia does this.

✓ Quovr — photo to estimate in 60s hipages — fill out a form Airtasker — guess your own measurements

Blind quoting

Tradies submit prices without seeing each other's quotes. Prevents the race-to-the-bottom that plagues every other platform. Better prices for you, fairer margins for tradies.

✓ Quovr — blind only Airtasker — open bidding

Milestone escrow

Your money sits in escrow and is released in stages as work is completed and photo-evidenced. You're in control — not the tradie. No more paying upfront and hoping for the best.

✓ Quovr — staged escrow hipages — no payment handling

Platform-monitored chat

All communication stays on-platform. Platform monitors messages in real time and masks contact details until deposit is paid. Zero chance of going behind the platform's back.

✓ Quovr — Platform-monitored All others — unmonitored

Early feedback

What people are
saying.

Quovr is in beta. Here's what our early users are telling us.

"I've used hipages three times and always ended up chasing tradies or getting burned. Quovr's escrow system means I actually felt safe handing over money. The Smart measurement thing is incredible."

Mosman, NSW · Painting job

"As a tradie I was sick of paying hipages $40 per lead and winning one in five. Quovr sends me actual jobs where the client is serious and the deposit is already in escrow. Night and day difference."

"The blind quoting is genius. I submitted my honest price and got the job — didn't have to race to the bottom. First time I've felt respected by a platform."

FAQ

Frequently
asked.

What trades are available at launch?

Phase 1 covers painting, tiling, flooring, end of lease cleaning, gutter & roof cleaning, window cleaning, roof painting, and commercial cleaning. Plastering and carpentry in Phase 2. Licensed trades (electrical, plumbing) in Phase 3.

How does blind quoting work?

Each tradie submits their quote independently without seeing any other quotes. This prevents race-to-the-bottom bidding wars. You see prices and ratings side by side — tradies can never see each other's numbers.

How is my money protected?

All payments are held in escrow before any work begins. Money is released to the tradie in stages, only after you review and approve their photo evidence at each milestone. If a dispute arises, Quovr mediates and escalates to NSW NCAT if needed.

How are tradies verified?

Every tradie completes a 6-step onboarding: ABN verification against the Australian Business Register, NSW Fair Trading licence check, Certificate of Currency for public liability insurance, portfolio review, and a conduct agreement.

What is the Inspector of Works feature?

At job completion you can book an independent NSW-licensed building inspector to formally assess the work. They produce a detailed report stored permanently on your job record — useful for warranty claims, insurance, or future property sales.

Can a tradie contact me directly to avoid the fee?

No. Contact details are masked until a deposit is paid. All communication goes through in-app chat which is Platform-monitored for off-platform contact attempts. Any tradie caught trying is permanently banned.

What does it cost tradies?

Nothing upfront. No monthly subscription. No pay-per-lead. Quovr takes 12% on completion only. Our first 20 tradies get a founding member rate of 6% for 12 months.
