Quote match

Does the quote match one builder?

Copy the details from the quote. We check that the name, ABN, licence and site point to the same builder in the public records.

Nothing you enter is saved or shown to the builder.

Why this matters before a deposit

  • The contract names one entity.The company on the quote, the licence holder and the ABN should be the same. A similar trading name can hide a different company.
  • HBC cover comes first.For NSW residential work over A$20,000, the builder must give you an HBC certificate for your site before asking for any payment.
  • The deposit is capped.A deposit over 10% of the contract price is not allowed for NSW residential building work.
