Once the work is covered up, you can’t see it again. Keep the proof.
The tradie photographs the work before it’s covered up and answers a few questions. SoleyProof records the job and has the photos and the tradie’s answers checked by AI, against SoleyProof’s plain-English summaries of the building code rules for that work. The licensed tradie signs it, and it is not a statutory certificate. Free for the general public hiring a tradie. Building companies and developers are priced separately.
Plasterboard, concrete and cladding hide the work. Years on, if something goes wrong or you sell, a record made at the time, with the photos, is something to show.
Hiring a tradie? Ask for the proof.
We want every job done by a licensed tradie and photographed before it’s covered up, and that starts with you asking for it. Ask your tradie to use SoleyProof. You see the photos of your job through the link your tradie shares, and your tradie’s certificate, with a code anyone can check online, no account needed. Look up a tradie’s licence details before you hire.
Tradie? Keep the proof of your work.
Photograph the job before it’s covered up, answer a few questions, and sign the record yourself, as the licensed trade. It is your own record, not a statutory certificate. Years later, when someone asks what’s behind that wall, you have the dated record. Show finished certificates on your profile, and print a list for your insurer.
How it works
On site
The tradie photographs the work before it’s covered up and answers a few questions.
The check
Example- Frame layout, stud spacing and bracingseen in the photosClear
- Plate joints and stud treatmentfrom the tradie’s answersClear
The photos and the tradie’s answers are checked by AI, against SoleyProof’s plain-English summaries of the building code rules for that work. Each rule gets its own result, and anything the app couldn’t see is marked, with what it still needs.
The certificate

Keep your job software. Add the proof.
SoleyProof isn’t job software. Job software runs the business side: quotes, bookings, schedules and invoices. SoleyProof keeps the proof of the work itself: photographed before it’s covered up, checked, signed by the tradie and kept. When you sign, SoleyProof emails you the reference and check link, to forward into your job software if it takes email.

SoleyProof certifies nothing, approves nothing. Only a tradie whose verified licence holds the class for the work can sign. Records are kept for at least 10 years from issue, and nothing is overwritten. A SoleyProof certificate never replaces one the law requires, such as an electrician’s or plumber’s own statutory certificate, or a pool barrier certificate.
