Property Owner

At present, we are in a closed beta, and therefore the platform is invite only. However, you can signup the newsletter, so you know when we are live.

After you’ve signed up and logged in, you will be navigated to your iknowa dashboard. From there, you can start a new project.

Don’t worry if you aren’t sure about all the details of your project. Please provide as much information as you can, including as many videos and images as possible. This way, tradespeople can then advise you and ask further questions when they submit their proposal.

We suggest considering the following factors:

  1. Tradesperson’s portfolio – Have a look at the tradesperson’s portfolio to see their previous work. This will give you an idea if their style and quality meet’s your needs.

  2. Tradesperson’s feedback – Read what others have said about the quality of the tradesperson’s work. 

  3. Quality of quote – Look into how detailed the tradesperson’s quote is and if they have comprehensively outlined the stages and work to be completed.

  4. Price – Consider the tradesperson that provides you with the best value. 

A proposal provides you with the following information:

  1. Introduction.

  2. Start date.

  3. Weekend availability.

  4. Stages and tasks performed within the project.

  5. Overall proposal price. The proposal price could change if the tradesperson gains further information about the project or the scope of work changes.

All projects are displayed on your dashboard under the projects tab.

iknowa continuously monitors and tracks all projects from start to finish to make sure you’re protected and your project is a success.
