What you need
  • A verified profile

One card works at every Buildpal site. It never belongs to a contractor: it's yours.

  1. Your first card is free

    Every worker's first card is free. You receive it when you join.

  2. It is registered to you

    The card has a printed number and is registered to your name. Only you should use it.

  3. Keep it safe

    Take your card with you whenever you go to work. If you lose it, report it straight away.
