I called back number 0403 644 153 reached voice mail but did not say for what company.

Recruiting for sub contractors.
As usual, price setting that effectively sees private contractors earning less than award rates.

Caller: An agency acting "on behalf" of builder company/s, on behalf of insurance companies...

They target small PTY LTD businesses, get them to sign up with them to obtain work through insurance companies. Then of course, the builders set the price for these small businesses and take their cut on top! I've had a few calls from similar agencies. The guy I spoke to today (Daryl) cited Tandem, IAG and RAC as some of their insurance and building companies he is affiliated with. Who knows?? www.tandemcorp.com/subcontractors/insurance-repairs/ has a bit of info. Global Home Response has also contacted us about the same thing. They both made a point of insisting private insurance work for contractors like us would not be available to us soon, unless we joined their sub contractors group. Sounds like bullying and big building companies getting rich off small business.

Insurance scammers
