Why did I not get an effective response? 

A) First, your request has a "life time" of 14 days. Please add as much detail about your project as possible, the products you selected and a reasonable budget for labour.   

B) It could be that traders are just too busy at the moment.

C) Perhaps the location of your project is a bit remote and it falls outside some trader’s coverage aria. We do monitor your requests and it's unlikely that this will happen.

Please do not hesitate to re-list your requirement.

What to expect from your Contractor

It is the general acceptance to not pay more than 50% as a deposit and 50% on completion. Personally I feel that the customer should pay for bigger stock items like a kitchen or the tiles required for 100 m2 or the flooring. This way you ”the customer” has control over it and you can arrange for a scheduled payment and split the labour cost into weekly payments. Please insist on an Itemized quote and remember; if the item isn't listed you've missed it. [In general terms] If a process includes a few steps or products then it’s up to your contractor to give you an overall price. We do send you the contractor's profile via email and insist you ask your contractor for a copy of his I.D. and Qualification documents as part of the quote. If in doubt, please contact us to verify. 

> Don't Pay the full amount. 50 % upfront and 50% on completion or use a schedule payment program.
> Don't pay the deposit well in advance. 1-2 days before for small projects.
