How it works

A check turns scattered public records into one plain report. Follow it from the detail you give us, through the registers we read, to the report a person signs off before it reaches you.

First

You give us the details

You enter the trading name or company of the builder, along with the Australian state or territory where the building work will happen. That is all we need to begin - no account, no obligation.

Then

We read the public registers

We look up the records that governments and regulators publish: state builder-licensing registers, the national company register held by ASIC, and the home-building insurance schemes that apply in each state. We report what those registers say as at the time we read them, with each source named and dated.

ABR
The business on your quote actually exists, its ABN is active and GST-registered - so your contract names a real, current entity. Source: ABR.
ASIC
The company's standing and its directors' history, including companies they ran that failed - so you know who you are really dealing with. Source: ASIC.
Verify NSW / QBCC
The licence is current, in the right class for your job, and what conditions sit on it - so the person quoting is allowed to do the work. Source: Verify NSW / QBCC.
icare HBCF
Whether they are eligible for the home building insurance your contract may require - so you are not uninsured mid-build. Source: icare HBCF.
Courts & Tribunals
Published disputes with other homeowners - so you see the record before you become part of it. Source: Courts & tribunals.
ACCC
Public warnings and enforcement actions - so you know if a regulator has already acted. Source: ACCC.

Agency and register names identify the public sources of data only; no affiliation or endorsement is implied or exists.

And

You receive a plain report

You receive a plain-English summary of what each register held on the day we checked - the licence class and status, the company's registration status, and whether the relevant insurance appears on record. Every line names the register it came from and the date it was retrieved, so you can verify it yourself.

Before you see it

Then a person checks it

A reviewer reads the register findings, resolves the near-name matches a machine would confuse, and confirms every line traces back to the source it names. Nothing reaches you until that review is done, and each report is prepared within one business day.

Every source is one you can check yourself

A check draws only on records the public can open, so every finding is one you can trace back and confirm. It reads:

State builder-licensing registers - the licensing authority in each state or territory records the licence class held by a builder and whether it is current.
The national company register (ASIC) - records a company’s registration status and whether it is under any form of external administration.
Home-building insurance schemes - the state-based schemes that record whether the required cover appears on file for a given job.

We report what each register held at the time we read it, with the source named and the retrieval date shown. We do not rate, rank or characterise any business - we show you the record and let it speak.
