Great platform for finding and appointing experienced trades people.
Especially handy as I was out of town
Easy to use, low effort/admin
Will definitely use again
Great way to find good tradies!
Speedy responses from tradespeople. Secured an exceptionally good tiler who I would very confidently recommend.
No Tokens, Still Charged
Builderscrack works, but the token overage system needs fixing.
When my tokens ran out, the platform still allowed a connection and I was automatically charged an overage, even though the job didn’t lead to any real engagement or chance to quote.
Contractors don’t really have control once the system processes the connection. Connections should stop when tokens are exhausted unless the contractor clearly opts in to an overage. That would improve transparency and prevent unexpected charges.
Sharing this as constructive feedback a small system change would make a big difference.

Builderscrack is a lottery with odds against the homeowner My experience using Buildercrack was…
My experience using Buildercrack three times now for 3 separate projects is many of listed sole trader trades are unreliable time wasters who don't turn up for meeting or don't follow thru with quotes. I found 50-60% of those that visit site don't reply or follow up, full of excuses, car crash, wife in hospital etc
Other issue lot of replies to work ads are from 'tradies' that when question have no experience or trade background, just hoping to BS getting work from inexperienced customer.

Awesome platform
Awesome platform. Makes finding tradies for jobe so much easier. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
How to get a great tradie
What a great way to get a job done! Ours was a small job, but Builderscrack arranged for three builders to compete for it. The one we selected was excellent, and we wouldn't have found him without their help. The system is straightforward and easy to navigate, and ensures you get a good match with a suitable tradesperson. There are a few other little tasks that need doing around our place, and it's a sure bet we'll be calling on Builderscrack for their assistance.
Excellent fellow and service recieved
Excellent fellow and service recieved. Quick, thorough and a reasonable price.
The single woman's renovation assistant
As a single woman doing a full home renovation I had no clue where to get the people I needed for all the work I had. BUILDERS CRACK got the ball rolling with the best electrician Zack at Power Pulse Electrical.who then connected me to the best plumber Marcus from Upbeat Plumbing.
Very happy
Very happy. Was connected with an affordable competent tradesman who completed the job well. Will defiantly use again.
They had one job and they got it right
The response from providers on the platform was nearly immediate and I had a good options to choose from. There are so many other service platforms out there that can't deliver that.
Terrific service - a real time saver
We've used Builderscrack a number of times now and have always had a great experience. Such an efficient and effective way to find someone to do the work needed in a timeframe that suits you both.
So easy
So easy, saved ringing round, the tradespeople who contacted me, wanted to do the job. So many people say they will give you a quote and you never hear from them again.
Very satisfied
Very satisfied. Got an quick response for an akward job with a small, difficult ti isolate, contractor/tradesman base.
Site was not quite intuitive for a first-time user - some things like accepting quote not explained well.

Website made a potentially time consuming activity quick and painless. Would recommend.

A good option when you don't personally know any suitable tradesmen.
