Everything homeowners ask before their first check.
Every branded product in your quote checked: Fair ✅ or Carrot 🥕, with fair-value prices for flagged items — real numbers to negotiate with.
One upload on our homepage: attach your quote with your email — free, with an on-screen confirmation instantly. The scanner auto-reads your quote, sorts every branded item by category and routes each to the relevant vetted supplier channel. A human validator verifies everything before your verdict is emailed — within 4 working hours (Mon–Sat, 9am–6pm; after-hours submissions join the next morning’s queue).
Checked: products with a brand or model number (kitchen hardware, sinks, taps, aircon units, lighting, locks, blinds). Not checked: services like painting, tiling and carpentry labour — quality varies, so price alone proves nothing. For services, see Direct Sub-Con Match.
Yes. Your quote is used only for your check, never shared with IDs, suppliers or anyone else, and deleted after the verdict is sent.
Use the KIV strategy: "I might buy this item myself — can you remove it from the quote so we can kickstart the reno first?" Saves their face and your money.
No — we flag inflated markups, not hard work. Many quotes come back fair. Honest IDs have nothing to fear from a free check.
Verdicts compare your quoted price against trade benchmarks for that item type. If your ID's price includes extras (special installation, warranty upgrades), tell us — we'll factor it in or note it in the verdict. We'd rather issue a boring "fair" than a wrong "carrot".
Directly with them — willing buyer, willing seller. They handle price, delivery, installation and warranty. CarrotLah connects; the deal is between you and the seller.
Nothing — the check is free for homeowners, whole quote or single item. Fair-use limits apply per email address to keep the queue for genuine homeowners.
