Pick your side to see exactly how Impact works for you. Three steps, no agency in the middle.
Find and book the right carpenter in a few steps, with confidence that everyone is who they say they are.
Create your company profile and add your NZBN. Our team verifies you before you can book, so carpenters know every company on Impact is genuine.
Search by skill, certification, rating and location, or post a job and let qualified carpenters apply to you. Compare rates and reviews side by side.
Send a request and the carpenter confirms. You pay Impact a flat 10% booking fee; the carpenter’s labour is paid to them directly, so there is never a markup.
Work that fits around you, at a rate you set, with companies that have been checked before they can book.
Show your skills, certifications, rate and past work. Our team reviews every carpenter before going live, so your profile stands for quality.
Mark the days you can work and let companies book you, or apply to jobs that suit you. You only ever take on the work you want.
Accept the bookings you want. The company pays you directly for your labour, Impact never takes a cut of your rate, and your rating grows with every job.
One card payment from the hiring company, and nothing taken from the carpenter. Here is exactly where the money goes.
Impact charges the hiring company a flat 10% booking fee, paid by card once the carpenter accepts. The carpenter’s labour is arranged and paid directly with them and never goes through Impact.
We never take a cut of the carpenter's rate, and there is no markup on labour. The carpenter is paid their full share by Impact after the company pays. Payment is only taken once the carpenter has accepted, so nobody pays for a booking that does not go ahead.

Every carpenter and company profile is reviewed by our team before it goes live. We check that profiles are genuine and complete, including company NZBN details, so both sides can transact with confidence.
The customer pays the carpenter directly for their labour, off platform, on the carpenter’s own terms. The only thing paid through Impact is the 10% booking fee, which never comes out of the carpenter’s rate.
Payment is only taken once the carpenter has accepted the booking. If a request is declined or falls through before acceptance, nothing is charged.
No. Listing a profile and browsing is free. Companies pay per booking when they hire, so there is no monthly cost and no lock in.

Impact is live across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region, and is steadily expanding from there.
