Businesses may respond with a quote or express interest, requesting more details. The request sent to businesses includes the type of service needed, job description, location, timing, budget, and any attachments.

Providing detailed information in your request can lead to more accurate quotes.
When you submit a job request on Oneflare, the information you provide is shared with relevant businesses so they can assess whether they're able to help you.
Depending on the type of job and the details you’ve provided, businesses may either send you a quote or express their interest in the job and request more information. Here’s how it works:
Your Request Is Sent to Businesses
As soon as you complete and submit the form, we notify businesses who service your area that offer the service you're after. They receive key details from your request, such as:
- The type of service you need
- A description of the job or issue
- Your location (suburb or postcode)
- Your preferred timing (e.g. urgent, next week)
- Your budget (if provided)
- Any attached photos or supporting documents
How Businesses Use Your Information
Businesses review your request and consider:
- What the job involves
- How much time it may take
- What materials, tools, or skills are required
- Their current availability
Based on this, they decide how to respond.
What Kind of Responses Can You Expect?
A Quote
If your job is straightforward and includes enough detail, a business may send you an estimated price right away. This quote could be based on a fixed fee, hourly rate, or standard industry pricing.
An Expression of Interest
For more complex or custom jobs like renovations, plumbing, or outdoor work, a business might need more information before providing a quote. In these cases, they may respond with an expression of interest, along with a request to:
- Arrange a phone call or site visit
- Ask for additional details, specifications, or measurements
- Offer a rough estimate, with a firm quote to follow
Tip: More Detail = Better Quotes
The more information you include in your request, the easier it is for businesses to provide accurate and timely responses. We recommend including:
- Measurements or dimensions (if relevant)
- Specific requirements (e.g. finishes, materials, deadlines)
- Photos and supporting documents (where applicable)
- Your ideal timeframe or availability
Detailed requests help businesses send tailored quotes with fewer follow-up questions.
