A Reliable Backup for Your Maintenance Jobs
Locentra isn't here to replace the tradies you already trust. It's a free, no-obligation way to cover the gaps - when your usual contractor is unavailable, the job falls outside their trade, or something needs sorting out urgently.
Trusted by local property managers
A backup option, not a replacement
Most property managers and strata companies already have trusted tradespeople they rely on for regular work, and that's exactly how it should stay. Locentra exists for the gaps in between: a burst pipe on a weekend, a trade your regular contractor doesn't cover, or a job that comes in while your usual tradie is booked out or on leave. Post the job, compare quotes from manually verified local tradies, and use it only when you actually need it.
Why property managers use Locentra
Free to post
Posting a job costs nothing and comes with no obligation to hire. Get quotes, compare them, and decide from there.
Manually verified tradies
Every tradie is reviewed before approval, with checks that may include licence, ABN, and business registration details.
Fixed, transparent pricing
Posting a job - including an emergency job - uses fixed pricing, not surge pricing. No inflated call-out surprises just because something's urgent.
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 properties.
Use it only when needed
No subscription and no minimum usage. Post a job when your regular arrangements can't cover it, then nothing until next time.
