Reliable Subcontractors, On Demand
Locentra isn't here to replace the subbies you already trust. It's a free, no-obligation way to cover the gaps - when your usual subcontractor is unavailable, overbooked, or the site needs something sorted before the next trade shows up.
A backup option, not a replacement
Most builders already have subcontractors they rely on for regular work, and that's exactly how it should stay. Locentra exists for the gaps in between: a site clean-up before handover, a patch job a client has flagged, an electrical call-out that can't wait until your regular sparky is free. Post the job, get responses from manually verified local tradies, and use it only when you actually need it.
Why builders use Locentra
Free to post
Posting an urgent job costs nothing and comes with no obligation to hire. Review responses and decide from there.
Verified, licensed tradies
Every tradie is reviewed before approval, with checks that may include licence, ABN, and business registration details.
Fast response, often within the hour
Local tradies see the job as soon as it's posted, so you're not left waiting to find someone who can cover it.
Secure in-app messaging
Keep every conversation with a tradie on record, in one place, without swapping personal numbers.
Trackable job history
Every job posted, quoted, and completed is tracked in your dashboard - useful for records across multiple sites.
No more chasing unreliable subbies
No subscription and no minimum usage. Post a job when your regular arrangements can't cover it, then nothing until next time.
When builders reach for Locentra
Site clean-up before handover
Your usual crew is tied up on another job and the date can't move.
Patching and small defect work
A quick fix needs sorting and it's not worth waiting on your regular subbie's schedule.
Electrical call-outs
An urgent electrical issue on site and your regular sparky is booked out.
Your usual subbie is overbooked
Not unreliable, just stretched - and the job on your end still needs covering.
