FAQ

Good questions to ask.

See all FAQs

Is MAKE GREAT a builder or contractor?

No. MAKE GREAT does not employ construction workers and does not carry out make-good work. We connect you with independent contractors, and the contract for the works is between you and the contractor you choose.

How does MAKE GREAT make money?

Approved contractors sign referral terms with us. If you award a project to a contractor you found through MAKE GREAT, that contractor pays us a referral fee worked out on the contract value. Our How we're paid page explains the details.

Is MAKE GREAT independent?

We are paid by contractors who win work through the platform, so we are not independent of them and we do not claim to be. To manage that conflict, contractors cannot pay to be ranked higher, matching applies the eligibility rules set out on our contractor vetting page first, and we explain why each contractor was invited.

Which cities does MAKE GREAT cover?

We run make-good projects in Melbourne and Sydney, with offices in Brisbane and Perth for meetings. If your premises are elsewhere, you can still contact us, but we may not have eligible contractors yet and will tell you if we do not.

Can landlords and property managers use MAKE GREAT?

Yes. Property managers, leasing agents and landlords can submit a project, for example to get quotes for reinstating a vacated tenancy. We only act on a tenant's documents or details with the consent of the person entitled to share them.

Do I need to know anything about construction?

No. The enquiry asks simple questions: where the property is, what type it is, roughly how big, when the lease ends, and whether you have the lease and photos. You can skip anything you do not know and add it later.
