Builder Checks

Established in 2018, Builder Background Checks is a one-stop-shop that uncovers hard-to-find due diligence data on Australian residential builders – fast, affordable and confidential. We investigate, interpret and clearly communicate risk data & ‘red flags’, so you can make decisions with confidence.

We’ve helped hundreds of Australians conduct their due diligence with our unique suite of credit rating, defaulting, phoenixing, company and court record searches. We dig deep into hard-to-find regulatory, licensing, insurance and government records to help clients avoid repeat-offending residential builders.
