The idea behind KNOQ

WHY KNOQ EXISTS

Local help should not
take all day to find.

FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES

Request help. Skip the calls.

The planned experience lets homes and businesses request suitable local help from their mobile. KNOQ is being built to make the starting point clear, without calling around to find who is available.

FOR INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS

Make availability useful.

Useful gaps in the day can go unfilled while nearby people are still searching. KNOQ is being built around professionals choosing their services, coverage, availability and the requests that suit them.

Availability is a starting point.
A job still needs agreement.

HOW WE ARE BUILDING IT

Start local.
Earn the next step.

A useful idea deserves careful work.
These principles guide ours.

Start local and learn

Invite interest across Perth’s northern suburbs. Listen to what homes, businesses and independent professionals need, test the assumptions and let the evidence shape what comes next.

Respect choice and privacy

For the free trial, the professional proposes the scope, price and timing. The customer explicitly accepts that proposal to confirm the booking. The job location stays approximate until then; only the booked professional receives the exact address.

An assessment has its own agreed scope, timing and any fee. It does not authorise repairs. Live-trip sharing operates only while travelling and stops at arrival. Customers pay professionals directly; KNOQ fees are waived during the initial trial. Read the app journey.

Independent professionals set their own prices and remain responsible for their credentials, insurance and work. Optional memberships do not buy priority or guarantee work. Read about the trial and proposed plans.

Let evidence lead

KNOQ has native Android and iOS apps. Public store review is underway. Steve reviews professional applications for each service. Signup is not verification, and live service coverage still depends on approved local professionals.

Appropriate legal, financial, technical and operational advice will be sought where the work requires it.
