Before CKS Projects’ licence, I held my own contractor licences: 113280C, which expired on 4 April 2005, and 218729C, which I surrendered on 24 May 2013 when the company’s licence took over. Both appear on the register as related licences.
Search the builder’s name or licence number on the NSW Government’s licence register and read the entry: status, class, expiry date, conditions and disciplinary record. Then check that the business on the register is the business on your contract. Status can change, so check on the day you sign, not only on the day you read this.
