TOOL - CONTRACTOR CHECK
Good contractor, or just a convenient one?
Whether you're vetting a contractor to use, or you're a contractor wondering if you'd fit how we work, this runs through what actually matters: competence, certification, cover, and clarity. Answer through and you'll get a summary you can send straight to us.
This tool offers general, indicative guidance only and is not a formal vetting or accreditation. However a contractor scores here, real competence must always be verified properly through references, evidence and independent checks. See our terms of use.
THE POINT
Competent, or just already onboarded?
A lot of work goes to whoever's already set up on the system, not whoever's best for the job. That's how buildings end up overpaying a familiar contractor while a better one never gets a look in.
These are the questions that separate genuine competence from convenience: real third-party certification, evidenced experience for the specific work, proper cover, a clear scope, and someone independent checking the result. It's exactly the vetting we do before we commission anyone, because our name is on the oversight.
BEYOND THE CHECK
When you need more than a self check
The service
Contractor management
When vetting questions aren't enough, we run tenders, validate every output and oversee the work, with no contractor of our own to push.
See contractor management →In practice
Sixty buildings, blanket guidance
A portfolio assessed as if every block were the same, with works recommended several didn't need. The case in full.

Send us your result and we'll help you judge whether a contractor's right, or if you're a contractor who does it properly, we'd like to know you.
