About TradieSA
TradieSA is South Australia's free community platform connecting homeowners with local tradies. We're based in Adelaide, built for South Australians, and committed to keeping it that way.
Why we exist
If you've tried to find a tradie in Adelaide recently, you know the drill: post a job on a national platform, get bombarded by tradies from interstate, pay a lead fee that gets passed onto your invoice, and wonder whether the person quoting actually knows your suburb.
The big national platforms aren't built for South Australia. They're built to maximise lead volume across every postcode in the country, with quality and locality as an afterthought.
TradieSA is the opposite. We're SA-only. Adelaide, the Hills, the South Coast, the Mid-North, the Riverland — if your tradie isn't local, they aren't on our platform.
How it works
1. Post your job
Tell us what you need done, where, and when. Add photos if it helps. Free, takes about 60 seconds.
2. Local SA tradies respond
Verified SA tradies see your job and reach out. You see their profile, reviews, and trust score before you commit to anything.
3. Pick your tradie
Chat through the platform, compare quotes, agree on the work. No middleman, no commission. You deal directly with the tradesperson.
