Why I built Waveatrade
Built by someone who's lived both sides of every job.
I've been a plumber for 8 years and used pretty much every platform built for homeowners and tradespeople. I think I have a good idea of what needs improving — for both sides. With Waveatrade I'm building a fairer, more transparent way to get work done: helping homeowners find a professional service they can trust, and giving tradespeople consistent, well-paid work.
