Below are the answers to the most common questions asked by tradesmen who are considering joining Onlinetradesmen.ie. It might not answer all your queries so if you need more information why not request a call back or call us on 01 4877380 during office hours. We'd be delighted to help.
Will I get work from Onlinetradesmen.com ?
On average active members won 9 jobs each in 2009 with an average value of €4,768 per job. The value per job will depend on the work you do - obviously a builder can expect to make more per job doing extensions than a plumber charging for call outs. However, the reality is that the amount of work you will win depends on the following factors:
- The number of jobs that you reply to.
- The quality of information that you put on your member website for prospective customers to view.
- Your own professionalisim and sales ability.
We supply you with the jobs - over 2,500 jobs each month - and the tools you need (website, training etc.) to be succesful. Even the average member can expect to get a great return on their investment.
Is the service nationwide ?
Yes. We provide our service across the 32 counties of the Island of Ireland. We get lots of work across the country including outside of the major cities and towns.
How many tradesmen compete for each job ?
The average customer receives 4 online replies from our members. However, we have limited it so that only 3 members can call a customer. The system is fully transparent so that you can see how many replies a customer has received before you decide to reply. This way it is not overly-competitive for you.

- We give you cost effective access to work in your area. You would pay thousands for an advertising campaign to deliver the same results!
