🚀 Getting started

Welcome to the guild. Here's the quick version:

1
Finish your profile — trade, area, licence/ticket type, ABN, insurances. The more complete, the more work you'll qualify for.
2
Turn on 2FA in Settings (recommended) to protect your account.
3
Explore your tools below — they're free to start.

🏠 Your dashboard

Your home base. It shows your status (pending → active once verified), your tier, your jobs, and your plan. Use Update details any time your tickets, insurance or vehicle change.

🧮 Trade Calculator

Pick any trade (or "Any trade") and calculate the job — area, volume, footings, decking, concrete, tiles, paint, and more.

🎣 The The Yard

Find materials, tool hire and resources near you. Search a product, set your distance, and get suppliers ranked by vicinity with map links to drive straight there.

📍 Find a Trade

(For clients.) Find a nearby, rated trade by distance — you see released ratings and comments, and request the job through us. Your details stay private until a trade is assigned.

🖼️ Portfolio wall

Show your best work on the public wall. Members can add a professional photoshoot and a featured advertising spot — seen by every client browsing the guild.

💼 Jobs & getting paid

Jobs assigned to you are yours alone — never resold. Quote fairly, do great work, and you're paid on time, guaranteed. Money is held safe and released when the client confirms the job's done right.

Keep everything on‑platform — quoting, jobs and payments all run through Trade Handy. It protects you and the client, and keeps your guarantees in place.

🪜 Your tier & climbing

Cashies ($10/mo) → Tradies ($59/mo) → Pro Trades ($149/mo). Start where you are, build your record, gather evidence toward your tickets through our Academy & RPL pathway, and climb to bigger jobs and better clients.

🔒 Security & settings

In Settings you can turn on 2FA (an authenticator‑app code — your account's strongest lock), and choose how AI runs for you: let Trade Handy handle it (a small fee), or use your own AI key.
