    Actually I think I’d prefer to pay a bit extra for someone I could trust but that’s often impossible when you’ve got a committee that always chooses cheapest. I don’t know who asked these particular contractors to quote for us but they were probably recommended by the strata agents. 

    I think owners corporations have a legal obligation to only use licensed and fully insured tradespeople. That’s why strata managers have a “panel” of tradies whom they know, who are going to tick all the boxes. 

    You might find, however, that the tradies may have to pay a processing fee to get on the list … and you can guess where those charges end up.
