Warning for Australian homeowners

Don't Hand Over a Deposit Until You've Checked Your Builder

You've got the quote and you're ready to commit. Take two minutes first. A Wright Way Report shows you what the public record says about your builder or tradie — licences, court and tribunal history, insolvency signals — while the money is still in your account.

Ask your builder or tradie: “Are you WWR Verified?”

What WWR Verified means Builders & tradies: get verified$599/year · Fresh report monthly
Why this matters

The deposit you send today
could be gone tomorrow

You've saved for months. Got the quotes. Shaken hands. Then the deposit lands in their account and things start to slide — unreturned calls, delays, shoddy work, or a builder who disappears altogether. It happens to thousands of Australian households every year. The tradie seemed legitimate and the price looked fair. Nobody checked the record.

1 in 3
Australian homeowners report a problem with a builder or tradie — disputes, cost blowouts, or work left unfinished.
$15k+
Typical out-of-pocket loss when a renovation goes seriously wrong, before legal costs or the price of putting the work right.

All it takes to order a Wright Way Report. Two minutes now instead of months of dispute later.

Why Homeowners Check Before Paying

Most homeowners only start digging after the money is gone. Wright Way Reports puts the public record in front of you while you still have a choice — before the deposit is transferred.

Public Records Reviewed

State licence registers, courts and tribunals, ABN history and insolvency records.

Private & Confidential

The builder or tradie is never contacted or notified.

Independent Review

We work for you, never for the trade. Your report goes to you alone.

Delivered Fast

Most reports land within 24 hours, and every one within 48.

What a Full Background Check Includes

Every check we run on an Australian builder or tradie, compiled into one clear report you can act on.

Full Builder & Tradie Background Check
⭐ Core of the $149 Full Report
  • Builder & tradie licence check, every state & territory
  • Court & tribunal records, including building disputes
  • ABN & business registration history

  • Proceed / Caution / Avoid recommendation

Every check is compiled into a single report and provided directly to you.

Why a $149 Report Makes Sense

A builder's deposit is usually thousands of dollars, and it is the hardest money in a renovation to claw back. $149 is a rounding error against that, and it is the one step that tells you who you are actually dealing with before the transfer goes through.

They checked. They were glad they did.

Homeowners who ran a report before paying a deposit, and Australian tradies who chose to be WWR Verified so their customers never have to wonder.

★★★★★

"I ordered the full report before signing the contract on our extension. Everything checked out clean, which honestly made us more comfortable going ahead than any reference the builder could have given us. Worth every cent."

James T., Sydney NSW · home extension
★★★★★

"I sent the link to my sister. She was about to hire someone with a track record she knew nothing about, and the report stopped her. It's now the first thing anyone in our family does before hiring a tradie."

Rebecca K., Brisbane QLD · bathroom renovation
Saved a family member thousands
★★★★★

"I asked our builder the question straight out: 'Are you WWR Verified?' He pulled up his report from that month on his phone before I'd even finished the sentence. That told me everything I needed to know about how he runs his business."

Priya N., Perth WA · double-storey addition
Hired a WWR Verified builder
★★★★★

"We had three quotes. One was cheaper, but only one builder was WWR Verified and could show us a current independent report. We went with the verified one and paid slightly more. Best decision we made on the whole build."

Daniel O., Adelaide SA · full home renovation
Chose verified over cheapest
★★★★★

"Twenty-two years on the tools and I've lost jobs to blokes who undercut me and then vanished. Being WWR Verified put an independent report on the table beside my quote. Customers relax, and I've stopped having to argue that I'm one of the good ones."

Mark H., Newcastle NSW · WWR Verified builder

Frequently asked

Identity, builder and tradie licence registration in the relevant state or territory, court and tribunal records, ABN and business registration history, bankruptcy and insolvency indicators, and complaint patterns linked to disputes, unfinished work or fraud. Every report closes with a clear Proceed, Caution or Avoid recommendation.
Never. Every check runs on public records, so the builder or tradie is not contacted, notified or asked for permission. Your report is sent to you and no one else.
The Full Report is emailed to you within 24 to 48 hours of ordering, and most arrive inside 24. Order on a Friday and you will still have it for the weekend.
Yes. We cover every state and territory: Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. That includes the state licensing registers, such as the Victorian Building Authority, NSW Fair Trading and the QBCC in Queensland.
That is the outcome you want. A clean report means nothing concerning surfaced in the public record, and you can pay the deposit knowing you did your homework rather than hoping for the best. Most reports come back clean. The value is in knowing.
Any home renovation or build: kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, granny flats, landscaping, roofing, decking, pools and more. If you are paying a deposit to someone who will work on your home, check them first.
A WWR Verified Contractor has passed the same independent Wright Way Report a homeowner would order, and has it re-run every month for as long as their membership runs. It is not a logo they bought and forgot about: the verification a builder shows you is backed by a report from this month, not last year. If a builder tells you they are WWR Verified, ask to see the current report. Verified members can share it in seconds.

WWR Verified

One question protects the homeowner.
One badge wins the work.

Wright Way Reports checks Australian builders and tradies independently, then re-runs the report every single month for verified members. Homeowners get proof instead of promises, and the good operators finally have a way to show it.

Looking for a builder or tradie?

Ask for a WWR Verified Contractor.

“Are you WWR Verified?”The one question worth asking before you pay a deposit. Anyone who is verified can answer it in seconds.

Before paying a deposit, ask your builder or tradie whether they are WWR Verified. A WWR Verified Contractor has completed an independent Wright Way Report and has it re-run every month, so the verification they show you reflects a current report, not one from a year ago.

★★★★★“I asked the question and our builder had his current report open on his phone in seconds. That one answer settled it for us.”Priya N., Perth WA
