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 South Yarra project with AI, then routes you to one builder who has already cleared City of Stonnington permit + overlay checks for the victorian townhouse and inter-war art deco apartment your home likely is.
