Licensing & insurance in British Columbia
Trades in British Columbia operate under WorkSafeBC and SkilledTradesBC. Both must be confirmed — ask for the WorkSafeBC clearance letter and the journeyperson's TQ (Trade Qualification) where applicable.
Before any pro can quote on WiseTrades, our team telephones their insurer to confirm the policy is genuine and active, then validates identity documents independently. If you are hiring outside the platform, replicate that step yourself — the cost of one un-insured worksite injury wipes out a decade of contractor savings.
Before you book a flooring installer across Richmond, BC
- Discuss communication cadence — weekly site updates, photo logs, or daily standup calls all work, but the cadence must be agreed before tools come out.
- Get the contract-cancellation clause read carefully: most provincial consumer-protection rules give a ten-day cooling-off, but custom-product orders cancel that window quickly.
- Confirm storage and access expectations — driveway, garage, side-yard staging arrangements should be on paper before delivery vehicles arrive across Richmond streets.
