This move further enhances the scale for the Contraction Connection global service line which is growing fast. As an indication of scale, Contractor Connection recorded:
- 6,000 general and speciality contractors
- Processing of more than 350,000 assignments
- More than $2.5bn in total project costs annually
A quality resource
Our robust verification process provides consistent vetting to ensure the protection and security of our customers and clients. Verification of insurance and state and trade licensing are just some of the checks made on panel contractors and a contractor’s performance is measured against our five star rating system which drives work allocation based on merit.
In Australia, the Contractor Connection team includes:
- 100 active contractors across the country
- 38 restorers coming online soon
- Expressions of interest from new contractors on a regular basis, with vetting an ongoing process
