Why this market exists
About the Ottawa market
Khench is built for work that is specific, local, and hard to price from a generic package.
From storm cleanup to a mobile repair, the details matter: location, timing, equipment, and scope can all change the right price. A Khench job post gives those facts to providers before they decide to bid.
Customers pay no platform fee, choose their provider, and confirm completion before funds release. A 48-hour dispute window keeps a clear path open if the outcome needs review.
