Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Worth checking yourself

Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

Home building in South Africa is required by law to be registered with the NHBRC, which protects you as the housing consumer. Confirm the builder is NHBRC-registered before you commit to a new home or major build.

Check the NHBRC register

Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.

Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.

Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
