Answer the questions to see your score. It updates as you go.

Method: yes scores a question in full, partly scores half and no scores nothing. Each is weighted from one to three by how much liability or rework the gap could leave you with, with insurance weighted highest. The score is the weighted share out of a hundred. Unanswered questions are left out.

The problem

Roofing labour is boom and bust. After a storm, companies have more work than crews and turn jobs away. Between storms, good crews sit idle and drift to other regions.

Matching happens through phone calls and rumour. Crews arrive unverified, with no proof of insurance or work quality, and the company carries the liability when an uninsured crew is on a roof.

Who it is for

  • Roofing companies

    Companies of 2 to 50 crews that need labour capacity during storm season and after.

  • Subcontract crews

    Crews who want consistent work at fair rates, and visibility without paying to be found.

Why should I trust the crew verification check?

The score is worked out from your own answers in your browser. It lists what to verify, and does not verify a crew or say that a crew is safe to use. On the free availability board, insurance is confirmed with the carrier rather than from a photographed certificate.
