Need a one-off check? Check one builder.
Builder onboarding
Confirm the builder record before adding a contractor, subcontractor, or marketplace profile.
Tender review
Check licence status before awarding or renewing contractor panels.
Customer claims
Use licence evidence during claims, warranty, or quality reviews.
Decision fit
Where this API path helps
Use this path when reviewing a builder for a specific project: compare the contracting entity, available building classes, and conditions with the proposed work. Keep specialised NSW DBP category routing explicit. A builder record is not a project approval or an insurance certificate; unclear scope needs manual review.
Source proof
Coverage evidence for decisions
Builder coverage includes broad contractor registers plus source families that are explicitly builder-focused.

Capabilities
What an integration can rely on
Builder status checks
Check whether a builder or building contractor record is current and tied to the expected state register.
Class and condition context
Surface available licence class, category, and condition details where source data provides them.
SA Builder/BLD coverage
WorkClear includes active SA CBS Builder/BLD records as a distinct live source family.
Category-gated DBP
Specialised NSW DBP checks remain category-gated so ordinary contractor searches do not mix unlike records.
