TradieCheck — Proof Before You Start
Timestamped photo proof before you touch anything
Tradies get blamed for damage they didn't cause. Without proof, it's their word against the client's. TradieCheck fixes that. Show up to a job, do a quick walkthrough, photograph anything pre-existing. The report is GPS-tagged, timestamped, and sent to the client for digital sign-off before work starts. If something comes up later, you open the report. That's it. Works on any phone. No app install for clients. 7-day free trial, no credit card needed.
I'm a web designer, not a developer. A year ago I'd never written a line of backend code.
But I kept seeing the same story in tradie Facebook groups — someone does a good job, client claims they caused damage that was already there, no proof, dispute goes nowhere. It happens constantly and nobody had built a simple tool to fix it.
So I built TradieCheck. It took about 8 months of late nights, a lot of dead ends, and more "what am I doing" moments than I'd like to admit.
The app does one thing: documents site condition before you start work. Photos, GPS, timestamp, client signature. Two minutes at the start of a job that could save you thousands in a dispute.
It's built specifically for Australian tradies — tilers, painters, plasterers, carpenters, anyone who shows up to a client's property and touches something.
Happy to answer any questions about the build or the problem it solves.
