Consumer tips

• 🎯 Always check licences and insurance: verify a tradie’s licence via NSW Fair Trading and confirm public liability for coastal jobs prone to third‑party damage.
• 🕒 Plan for seasonality: book building, marine and roofing work outside peak whale‑watch and summer holiday periods when possible.
• 💡 Ask about corrosion‑resistant materials: coastal exposure requires stainless fixings, sacrificial anodes on boats and specialised coatings.
• 📅 Get multiple written quotes and a clear timeline: remote supply runs can affect lead times in Eden, so confirm parts sourcing and delivery responsibilities.
• 📌 Use council and state resources: Bega Valley Shire Council guidance and SafeWork NSW requirements help set expectations for permits and safety standards.
