Ok, clients looking for their job or work to be carried out, but are unsure of how to find a trades-person in their area that is competitively priced, recommended by others and importantly, available when they need them...

This is where estEmate comes in. By visiting estEmate the client can quickly and easily post their job 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at no cost, and with as much detail as possible. When complete, the job will then be displayed on the site and the client can choose up to 5 suitable trades-people to quote for their job.

The trades-people selected are then alerted of the job by text message and/or email. In the meantime, any trade searching for work on the site can view the job and can provide a quotation for the work. Also at this point the trades-people can ask specific questions regarding the job.

Once an acceptable number of quotes have been received, the client can then make a ‘well informed’ choice about the trades-person they wish to select, note: that this may not always be on price, but could be on another deciding factor such as previous rating of that trades-person by other client users.

The chosen trades-person to undertake the work is then contacted again by text message and/or email to alert them of their success in gaining the work. Contact details are exchanged and the work scheduled at a suitable time for both parties.

Once the work is complete, the final thing to be done is to rate the trades-person that undertook the work. This will help other clients in making a well rounded choice in selecting a quality trades-person in the future
