Project Overview
We are building an Australian B2B online platform that connects businesses with verified contractors/tradies for short- and medium-term work.
This project is an Enhanced MVP — more advanced than a basic prototype, but intentionally not a full enterprise system. The goal is to launch a commercially viable platform that can scale over time without rebuilding.
