Coverage on a slide. The suburb still waits because nobody ranked a backup who can actually attend.
- Can we keep our existing roofing contractors in Launceston?
- Yes. Import the Launceston book, invite them once, and they work your jobs from the tradie portal. You are not forced onto a public marketplace for day-to-day roofing work in Launceston.
- Does a TAS-wide roofing agreement cover Launceston sites?

- What makes Launceston different from the rest of Tasmania for roofing?

- How do we fill a Launceston site our roofing book cannot reach?
- Run an RFQ for the roofing category in TAS, then onboard the winner. They do not receive a first work order until insurance, licences and height safety, storm damage make-safe and warranty documentation checks are verified.
