What's Included?

✔️ ID & Document Compilation

We gather, organize, and verify your vendor's submitted documents:


  • Government-issued ID (individual or business owner)
  • Business registration (e.g., ABN)
  • Trade certifications (e.g., plumbing, electrical, welding)
  • Safety or insurance documents (if available)
  • Proof of past project (e.g., signed work order or completion photos)


Delivered in one clear, branded PDF or secure link.

✔️Reference Check (Up to 3 contacts)

We contact up to 3 of your vendor’s past clients or project managers to confirm:


  • Scope and quality of previous work
  • Professionalism, timeliness, and issue resolution
  • Satisfaction and likelihood to rehire

You receive a report with tone indicators (positive / neutral / caution) and selected quotes (if approved).
