BCA registration is not a recommendation. It does not show whether a contractor is available, right for your home, fairly priced or consistently good at its work.

Before appointing anyone

  1. Confirm the company name and UEN match the quotation and invoice.
  2. Work out whether the job needs a BCA registration or another licence, then check that the company's registration actually covers that work.
  3. Ask for a written scope, exclusions, schedule, payment stages and warranty terms.
  4. Check any other permits the job needs. A CRS registration is often not the only requirement.
  5. Get at least two itemised quotations and compare them line by line.

Not sure which category fits?

Some projects span several workheads. A full renovation, for example, can involve general building, interior finishing, electrical and plumbing contractors. Browse the complete workhead guide or search by a company you already know.
