Describe the work you need and Knut can send the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.
How to brief an electrical job
Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you need it done. For fault finding, explain what is happening and when you first noticed it; for a power point, light or appliance connection, say what needs to be installed, changed or connected. Include photos if they would help show the issue or the existing fitting. A clear description helps suitable tradies understand the request and prepare relevant quotes. You only need to describe the job once through Knut; you can then message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee at booking: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie's quoted price for the work. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Ask about the scope of a quote if you need to understand what work it covers.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Electrical work involves licensed work, and Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified. Review the quotes Knut receives and consider which one best fits the work you described. Before booking, check that the proposed scope matches your request, including any fault finding or installation details you provided. Once booked, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies; it does not carry out the electrical work itself. If something in a quote is unclear, ask the tradie through Knut before you book.
Knut's booking fee
Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
