Every Victorian build over $16,000 must use a VBA-registered builder carrying Domestic Building Insurance (DBI). BuildPilot only matches you with vetted Victorian partner builders that genuinely operate in these corridors, never random builders and never ranked by strangers' reviews. See the growth corridors guide and the display home directory.
