Question 1

How many quotes should I compare before booking?

Accepted Answer

Most home-service jobs are easier to judge with 2 to 4 written quotes so you can compare scope, timing, and exclusions side by side.

Question 2

What should I include in a quote request?

Accepted Answer

Include the suburb or postcode, the work you need done, target timing, and photos or measurements when relevant so providers can reply with an accurate quote.

Question 3

Do I choose which provider to contact or book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cockatoo helps you compare options, but you stay in control of which provider you respond to, shortlist, or book.

Question 4

Can I browse services before I am ready to post a job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Search by service, browse popular categories, and only start the quote flow when you are ready to compare local providers.
