About CheckMyBuilder.
A neutral due-diligence tool helping New Zealanders hire builders and trades companies with confidence.
Public records, organised honestly.
CheckMyBuilder pulls the public New Zealand record into one concise, source-linked report. It confirms company status and directors and surfaces insolvency filings, with a link to the official notice behind every item. We show the facts and you draw your own conclusion.
Built from a $500,000 lesson.
This tool was born from hard experience. After losing over $500,000 on a residential build that went wrong, it became painfully clear how difficult basic due diligence is for ordinary people.
Key facts were scattered across registers and notices. Director histories and the companies they were tied to were hard to trace. Getting a single clear picture for banks, lawyers or insurers took weeks. We built CheckMyBuilder to make those checks fast and verifiable. Instead of ten browser tabs and PDF hunting, you get one plain-English snapshot with live links to the official record. No paid profiles, no ratings games, just facts you can check.
Three principles we don't bend on.
Transparency
Every important point links back to a public source.
Independence
No paid placements and no pay-to-improve listings.
Neutrality
We present the public record. We don't hype it and we don't add fear.
Honest about the limits.
- We don't host star ratings or anonymous reviews.
- We don't provide legal or financial advice.
- We don't sell your personal data or search history.
- We give you verifiable facts so you can make your own informed decision.
