Building Quality Australia — Independent consumer protection for Australian homeowners since 2014
Always Check Your Builder
Australian Consumer Protection
Why this matters

A licence check is just the beginning

A valid licence tells you a builder met minimum requirements at a point in time. It tells you nothing about how they treat clients, manage finances, or handle things when a job goes wrong.

Our background reports go deeper — covering credit defaults, court records, tribunal appearances, company histories and trading patterns — so you can see the full picture before you commit.

What our reports cover →
A real scenario
What you found

Two strong references. Licence current and valid.

What we found

Three jobs last year ended in the courts. Truck repossessed. Two defaults on equipment leases. No tax return filed in two years. Three building companies in liquidation. Subcontractors refusing to work with them.

The licence was real. The risk was real. The choice is yours.

Our commitment to you

We exist for one reason — to protect Australian homeowners from avoidable risk.
Completely independent
No affiliation with builders, industry bodies or referral networks. Our only obligation is to you.
Unbiased reporting
We report facts — court records, financial history, licence status. No editorialising, no opinion.
Your privacy protected
All searches and reports are conducted confidentially. Builders are never informed you searched.
No referrals, ever
We don't recommend builders. We give you the information to make that decision yourself.

Important: Unlicensed or incorrectly licensed builders can void your insurance and leave you with unrecoverable costs. If your search reveals an unlicensed operator, report it to us immediately.
