Verify Your Tradie Before You Sign (and Pay the Deposit!)

Don’t Risk Your Renovation Deposit. Run a Builder Background Check Today.

Finding the right professional for your next project — whether it’s a builder, project manager, electrician, plumber, roofer, or carpenter — is essential to bring your vision to life with confidence. Trade Checka ensures you’re working with vetted tradespeople who value trust, quality, and transparency.

Don’t rely on a handshake. Check if a builder is licensed, financially secure, and reliable before work begins.

Why Use Trade Checka? (Because an LBP Register Search Isn’t Enough)

Many homeowners know an LBP register search should be done, but a standard Licensed Building Practitioners lookup won’t show you the full picture. Government registries don’t reveal pending liquidations, bad credit history, or criminal records.

Trade Checka offers comprehensive, independent reports to answer your most critical questions:

• How to check a builder’s credentials in NZ thoroughly? We handle the entire verification process for you.

• How to look up a building company’s history? We investigate company directors so you can avoid dealing with people who habitually liquidate and restart businesses.

• How to know if a builder is dodgy? Reduce your risk before handing over thousands in non-refundable deposits.

If you are ready to secure your project, use our Check My Builder service to get a fast verified by a person, independent report.

What Our Clients Say

“Finding honest and dependable trades to carry out my bathroom renovation was daunting – it was my second renovation project and the first one didn’t go so well. I didn’t know how to check a builder’s credentials in NZ properly until I discovered Trade Checka. The process became completely stress-free. I uncovered the background history I needed, avoided the cowboy operators, and hired reliable, trustworthy people to bring our dream bathroom into reality.” — Sarah M., Auckland Homeowner
