What Steadyhand solves
THE PROBLEMS EVERY TRADIE KNOWS
Scope disputes, payment delays, and missing paper trails are not bad luck — they are a process problem. Steadyhand fixes the process.
Scope creep
Clients asking for more than what was agreed, then disputing the extra cost.
Every job starts with a signed scope agreement. What's included and what isn't is locked in writing before work begins — protecting you and giving the client clarity.
Late or disputed payments
Chasing invoices, waiting 60 days, disputes over what was delivered.
Milestone payments are held and released on approval. You submit, the client approves, the money moves. No invoice chasing, no payment disputes.
No record of what was agreed
Verbal agreements that clients misremember. No paper trail when something goes wrong.
Steadyhand keeps the full record — scope, messages, milestones, signoff, and warranty. Every job generates a document trail that protects both parties.
Dialogue Rating
YOUR HISTORY OF WORK BUILDS WITH EVERY JOB
Every job you complete on Steadyhand adds to your Dialogue Rating — a score built from how clearly you communicate at each stage. Pricing transparency, scope clarity, risk communication, compliance, timeline clarity, and professionalism.
Clients see your history before they select you. It reflects long-run behaviour across all your jobs — not a single review, not a star rating someone left on a bad day.
Clients see your rating before they select you. The clearer your communication, the stronger your position.

Get matched to jobs
Clients post requests and the platform matches based on trade, location, and your Dialogue Rating. You receive job notifications and can accept or decline.
Agree the scope
Digital scope agreement signed by both parties before work starts. Inclusions, exclusions, milestone plan, and total price — all locked in writing.
Get paid by milestone
