What You'll Learn
- The Contractor Chaos Trap: why fragmented panels quietly increase risk and cost
- What NSW law expects of you under WHS Act s.19 and the duty to consult, cooperate and coordinate
- A five-question single-source readiness rubric for your current panel

- Includes: Contractor Consolidation Consultation offer for qualifying portfolios
Who is this for?
Facility managers, property managers, and strata managers coordinating three or more exterior cleaning contractors across one or more NSW properties.
The problem
Most fragmented contractor panels are inherited, not designed. Each additional vendor is another PCBU under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) with its own insurance schedule, SWMS format, and coordination obligation. The admin overhead rarely appears on a quoted rate - it shows up in your calendar.
What's inside
Eight pages covering the statutory framework, a five-question readiness rubric, published benchmarks on vendor-overhead cost, and a Vendor Consolidation Worksheet you can use in your next review. The final page offers a no-obligation consultation with a $250 onboarding credit for qualifying portfolios consolidating three or more exterior contractors.
