Ask Baily instead of Hipages
Hipages publishes a directory — you still have to call 3–5 contractors, chase quotes, and vet licensing yourself. AskBaily scopes your Carlton project with AI, then routes you to one builder who has already cleared City of Melbourne permit + overlay checks for the victorian terrace and italianate row house your home likely is.
