How the TradesField Rating works

What the A to E grade means and what moves it.

The five grades

Each report gives a grade from E to A and a score out of 100.

E0 to 19

Severe concern

Escalate. Do not rely without further enquiry.

D20 to 39

Weak standing

Seek further information before engaging.

C40 to 59

Moderate standing

Verify before engaging. Review the findings.

B60 to 79

Sound standing

Proceed with standard checks. Review the findings.

A80 to 99

Strong standing

Strong standing on the public record. Review any findings before relying.

what moves it

Only a published record moves the grade

Each factor on the report names its register and the date on the record. Nothing comes from reviews or turnover.

Raises it

  • A current construction licence on the QBCC, NSW or Victorian register, with its classes in force
  • An active ABN and company registration, with GST registration in place
  • Every register searched with nothing adverse recorded. That puts a company at the top of its grade

Lowers it

  • An ASIC record or notice of external administration, liquidation, winding-up or deregistration
  • A licence suspended or cancelled, or a direction to rectify or disciplinary action on the licence register
  • A cancelled ABN or GST deregistration
  • A court matter or payment adjudication where the company is the respondent
why it holds up

What sets the grade apart

Built on construction records

Licences, ASIC notices and the building registers, read from the authorities that hold them.

Every reason shown

Each grade comes with the records behind it, dated and sourced.

The same rules for everyone

The record is the only input. Nobody can buy a better grade, or a worse one for a competitor.

Kept current

Monitoring tells you when a company's record changes after you sign.
