Questions about the Hub
How do I find a local trade in Alice Springs?
Open the trades list on this site and pick the trade you need. Where a business is listed, its page carries its own phone number and email, and you ring or email them yourself. If a trade shows no business yet, no local operator has been listed for it so far.
See all trades โIs SCNTpl Hub free to use?
Yes. Finding a trade here costs nothing, and being listed costs nothing. There is no membership, no committee, no fee and nothing to sign. If that ever changes, listed businesses will be told before it does, not after.
Does the Hub take a cut of the work?
No. The Hub takes no cut of anything you arrange with a listed business and does not set their prices. You deal with the owner direct and they quote you direct. Every business here stays independent, with its own prices and its own customers.
How does a local business get listed?
Fill in the form on the List your business page. Nothing goes live automatically: the listing stays a draft until a person reviews it and speaks to you, and no business is ever listed without its owner's consent. Listing is free.
List your business โWhat does listed mean on the Hub?
A listed business has a live page here, reviewed before it went live and published with its owner's consent. We check the licence, ABN and insurance details it gives us. Spoken for means a trade is set aside for a business not yet live. Looking for a local means nobody is listed yet.
Who can be listed โWho runs SCNTpl Hub, Alice Springs?
The Hub is run by Sawtell Contracting NT Pty Ltd (ABN 57 655 213 077), an Alice Springs business. For electrical work, go to that business's own site, sawtellcontractingnt.com. Every other business listed here is independent of it.
sawtellcontractingnt.com โThe trades, and who is listed

Why this exists
Sawtell Contracting NT is a multi-trade contractor in Alice Springs. Not just electrical, which is why the name says contracting.
Doing that work, the same thing kept happening. Finish a job and get asked: do you know a good plumber? A glazier? Someone who can do the concrete? Every time, the honest answer was a name and a phone number scribbled down, and half the time the person never rang because they could not find anything about them online.
Good operators in this town are hard to find on the internet, not hard to find in the town. A one-man plumbing outfit doing excellent work has no website and no time to build one, so a search sends the job to someone from out of town instead. That is money leaving the Centre for no good reason.
So this is the list. Independent local businesses, in one place, findable. We take no cut of anything you arrange with them, we do not set their prices, and we have no say in who they work for. If we never get a job out of it, the town still ends up better off, and that is enough of a reason.
