What skills and insurance do I need to add?

If you’re hiring contractors or professionals to handle your project, you don’t need to add skills or insurance to your profile. Instead, general insurance documents should be uploaded to the document library for safekeeping.


However, if you’re a contractor or tradesperson working on the project yourself, it’s important to add your skills and insurance information in your Profile Settings. This ensures you meet project requirements and stay organised.
