Tip 6 Doing your Own Due Diligence
Do your own due diligence and conduct your own research.
Thankfully, we now live in the information age and with most information readily available to us via the internet. You can un-earth a company’s background and history quite easily by conducting your own research in the company’s staff. Additionally, it takes literally seconds to check the validity of a Builder’s builder license and whether the HBCF insurance policy is valid and legitimate.
I still recall the time I heard the story about a project being put on limbo when the project was close to completion because the PCA had gone through their checklist and realized that the HBCF policy provided by the Builder was photoshopped. It baffled me that no one had bothered to double-check on the paperwork until the very end of the project, by which all construction work had already been completed.
Makes you wonder how many illegal jobsites there are out there up and running in the residential home sector. So I urge you to do some background research and cross-checking of your own upfront for your project.
Don’t risk being caught out.
