    I am sourcing tradies from HiPage. Some XYZ Builder Pty Ltd approaches for quotes. From you experience, are these XYZ Builder Ply Ltd the middle man who organise other tradies to do thee jobs or they do the job themselves?

    Ask them for the licence details, depending on the state you're in, looking up the licence should give you an idea of who is doing the work. eg in NSW it is: Check a builder or tradesperson licence

    I have come across tradies that are using a cousin/mate/partner's licence so make sure the person doing the work is the licenced one.

    I have come across many companies on serviceseeking/hipages that subcontract to others and it can easily become a disaster.
