How to read it
- Findings aren’t verdicts. This builder holds a current licence. The compliance history and the tribunal decision are things to read and ask about, not reasons on their own to walk away.
- Clear means nothing was found in that source on the day of the search. It isn’t a guarantee.
- “For information” results aren’t risks. Most small builders don’t report payment times, and a builder working only in NSW won’t hold an ACT licence.
