Getting verified as a builder

29 Jul 2026

A Verified badge on your profile is one of the simplest ways to stand out to homeowners comparing builders.

What you can submit

  • Proof of ID
  • Public liability insurance
  • Trade certifications

You can upload these from Your public profile under the Verification section. Files are stored privately and are never visible to homeowners or other builders - only our team reviews them.

What happens next

Once submitted, your profile status moves to pending. A real person on our team reviews the documents - including checking that your ID photo matches who you say you are - and either approves them, unlocking the Verified badge, or gets in touch if something's missing. It's a manual check, not an automated system.

Do I have to be verified to get leads?

No - your profile can still receive and respond to leads while unverified. But a Verified badge is clearly shown on your public profile and directory listing, and it's often the deciding factor for a homeowner choosing between similar builders.
