Ask Baily instead of Oneflare
Oneflare publishes a directory — you still have to call 3–5 contractors, chase quotes, and vet licensing yourself. AskBaily scopes your Kew project with AI, then routes you to one builder who has already cleared City of Boroondara permit + overlay checks for the federation villa and edwardian queen-anne your home likely is.
