Founder Story

Built from the job site, not a boardroom.

NovaHQ was created by an Australian tradesman who knows how easily quotes, job details, customer messages, photos and invoices become scattered across different apps. The goal is simple: give business owners one intelligent place to run the work.

More than 20 years on the tools.

With over 20 years of plastering experience — running and working inside trade businesses — the founder built NovaHQ to solve real problems that trades and service businesses face every day.

NovaHQ is being shaped around the way real trade and service businesses quote, schedule, communicate, deliver work and get paid.
