How to become VERIFIED Builder

To protect our Customers, we had started inducting Real Builders for Assuring about their Physical Existence as well having Proven / Visible Track Record of their Construction Works in addition to Collecting Customers Reviews towards Awarding them with our VERFIED Contractor Licence.

There are different types of licences available depending on whether you want to contract or supervise construction work.

A VERIFIED Contractor licence allows you to contract and advertise to do work for our Client in which we Provide Full Guarantee of your Engagement with them. You can only do the types of work described on your VERIFIED Licence Card. Contractor licences can be issued to individuals and to companies and partnerships. You can choose to have a VERIFIED Contractor licence issued for one or three years.

A qualified supervisor certificate allows you to supervise and do the work described on your certificate. Qualified supervisor certificates are only issued to individuals. Certificates are issued for three years. A qualified supervisor certificate does not allow you to contract for work.

An endorsed contractor licence is issued to individuals who apply for a contractor licence and who also have the qualifications and experience needed to be a qualified supervisor. Endorsed contractor licence cards have ‘contractor licence (Q)’ printed on them to show they are also equivalent to a Qualified Supervisor Certificate.
