David Hallett, General Manager of Archicentre said the need for this service was identified as a result of the thousands of property inspections undertaken by Archicentre each year.

"So many people ask us for recommendations so we have teamed up with Service Central, one of Australia's leading suppliers of trade services, to help them out.

"Each Archicentre property inspection report contains detailed information on the property's defects and what actions need to be undertaken to rectify the issues."

Archicentre has identified that it was often difficult for homeowners to find pre qualified tradespeople to undertake these works which could range from major renovations to smaller plumbing, painting and maintenance repairs.

"Partnering with Service Central helps overcome this issue by making it easy for consumers to find local tradespeople and obtain professional quotes from which they can make an informed decision.

"Rather than trawling through the telephone book trying to find tradespeople, homeowners can now post a job request through the Archicentre website and the tradespeople that want the job will call them back.

"This service is backed by Service Central's powerful matchmaking software that pinpoints the right tradespeople for the job and arranges for the tradespeople that are available to contact the homeowner."

Bruce Ahchow, CEO of Service Central said with a network of over 3,500 pre qualified tradespeople Service Central is at the forefront of delivering quality home improvement services to consumers.

"There are so many good tradespeople out there that we want to make it easy for people to find them."
