Needing work done immediately with no prior knowledge of the area.
I was only in the area for 4 days and I needed work done immediately and was unsure how to find the right tradie.
And then I remembered I had used Builderscrack.co.nz to find tradies previously for another work situation.
Builderscrack was easy to use and the perfect tradie was found. Day 1 we had a quote and by day 3 the work was completed to an excellent standard.
I am very grateful to Builderscrack to have professional workers on their site which can be accessed easily and is user friendly.
Using Builderscrack for the first time…
Using Builderscrack for the first time was a really positive experience. The whole process was very easy and straightforward, with no complications. It made finding the right person for the job simple and stress-free. I’d definitely use it again.
Very positive experience using the site.
Really easy to use the site. Posted my job and got plenty of replies. Very happy with the tradie I used and will definitely use again. Highly recommend Builderscrack if you need work done.
So easy!
We purchased wall paper for feature walls 3 months ago. After calling multiple wall paper installers we had no committed time for install, and /or didn't come back to us.
With builders crack we had a quote lined up and confirmed within minutes, and the job done within days!
100% would use again .
I’ve used Builders Crack a few time with excellent exeriences
I’ve used Builders Crack a few times and have always had a great experience. I’ve always managed to get a great contractor. I really like how you get reviews so you can find what is important to you, and you work through a methodical process. It’s great for keeping on track and ensuring you have considered everything when getting a contractor.

After ringing around trying to get someone to quote i went to builderscrack, i had 3 quotes in very quick time and secured the tradesmen from that.
A very easy process to follow and highly recommended.
Trustworthy site!
I submitted my job at night and got a response the next morning from 3 potential builders. I went with the 1st builder in line and am stoked with his work and communication.

Have used Builderscrack for years. Love the fact that you're not chasing and wasting time looking for tradies, they come to you and want the work. Can check their reviews easily and workmanship from real clients. Great for both small and large jobs.

Builder's Crack
I have used Builder's Crack for several jobs now, and all the tradies I've worked with have been efficient and gotten the little jobs done. I've been able to access smaller companies who might have missed out on work otherwise, and that I would never have found myself.
Very helpful
Builder's crack is an easy to use network that I have used twice. Both times I have met trades people that are competent and well priced. I will be using those tradies and BC in the future.
Paying for Leads That Go Nowhere
I’d like to raise a concern about how the token system currently works on Builderscrack.
As tradies, we pay for tokens to connect with homeowners and quote on jobs. However, homeowners can connect with multiple tradies at once, and often they simply choose the cheapest quote. While that’s understandable from their perspective, it means the rest of us lose the tokens we paid for, even if we provided detailed quotes and professional communication.
What’s more frustrating is when homeowners connect with several tradies and then withdraw the job without even having a conversation. Despite no discussion or opportunity to quote properly, the tokens are still deducted from our accounts.
This system puts all the financial risk on tradies. We invest money just for the opportunity to quote, but there’s no protection if the job is withdrawn or if the homeowner doesn’t engage.
I believe there should be:
• A refund of tokens if the homeowner withdraws the job before meaningful contact.
• A limit on how many tradies a homeowner can connect with per job.
• Better accountability for homeowners who repeatedly post and withdraw jobs.
Builderscrack is a great platform with real potential, but the current system feels unfair to tradies who are paying to use it.
Thank you for considering this feedback.

I find builderscrack not really good…
I find builderscrack not really good for tradespeople. They charge a lot to chase a job and it is not guaranteed that you will win the job so I waste money for nothing. It was better when they charge you a commission when you get the job instead.

Quick response.
After making contact I had responses I employed one of these. Quick response too from this company. Was so impressed will use this company again.
Easy to use
Easy to use, quick response from quality tradespeople, Builderscrack kept contact by email ensuring support if needed.
Don't sit on the fence, give it a go.....
I have used Builderscrack for the first time recently as I didn't know who to contact about the garden job I had nor any real idea about the cost - just a budget to work to. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it will be my 'go to' place from now on for any future work I need to have completed. Very easy to use, easy to communicate with whoever makes contact with you and if you're sitting on the fence (as I had been for some time) I would highly recommend giving it a go.
