More about the program

Matching with builders and tradespeople: After you've made your choice, we'll send you a list of approved builders and tradespeople ready to work on your project. You can then directly communicate with your selected professional to coordinate the services that align with your needs.

Quality assurance: We've handpicked only fully registered and accredited tradespeople from reputable associations to ensure you receive top-quality service.

Permit guidance: If you're planning any building work, it's essential to determine whether you need a planning permit, a building permit, or both. We recommend consulting with your local council for guidance on permit requirements.

Program duration: The program is scheduled to run until June 30, 2025. If needed, your project can continue after this date if you and your chosen tradespeople agree.
