💡 Perth building tip: Always search the register yourself on the day you are about to sign — not just when you receive a quote. Licence status can change. Confirm the category of licence matches your specific project type before proceeding.
⚠ Beyond the licence check
What the WA register won’t tell you
A licence search confirms a Perth builder held a valid licence at the time of search. It says nothing about:
- Credit defaults, unpaid debts or payment disputes with subcontractors
- Court judgements or tribunal appearances (QCAT, VCAT, NCAT, etc.)
- Prior company liquidations or phoenix activity
- How they perform on-site and how they treat clients when problems arise
Our background reports cover all of this — delivered confidentially, with your builder never informed.
