Accreditation is not automatic and it is not permanent. It is granted by application, reviewed, and can be revoked.
The eight BBB Standards for Trust
Every accredited business agrees to:
- ·Build trust — maintain a positive track record in the marketplace.
- ·Advertise honestly — no misleading claims about scope, pricing, or credentials.
- ·Tell the truth — represent products, services, and warranties accurately.
- ·Be transparent — disclose ownership, location, and material terms clearly.
- ·Honour promises — deliver on written agreements and representations.
- ·Be responsive — address disputes quickly and in good faith.
- ·Safeguard privacy — protect customer information.
- ·Embody integrity — approach all business matters with honesty.
Why it matters more in construction than in most industries
Finish carpentry and renovation work involves three things that create real risk for a client: deposits paid before work happens, crews working unsupervised inside your home or a live jobsite, and quality you cannot fully judge until the trade is finished. Most contractor disputes in BC are not about craftsmanship at all — they are about scope creep, unclear change orders, and a contractor who stops answering the phone.
An accredited business has a public, permanent record attached to how it handles exactly those situations. That is the practical value: not a promise that nothing will go wrong, but a documented channel and a public record if it does.
BBB is one layer, not the whole check
Accreditation should sit alongside the checks that carry legal weight in British Columbia:
- ·WorkSafeBC clearance letter — proves premiums are current. Without it, liability for a worker injury can land on you as the property owner or general contractor.
- ·Commercial General Liability insurance — request the certificate. Right Group carries $5,000,000 CGL, and on commercial contracts we add the general contractor as additional insured on execution.
- ·A written, line-itemed contract — fixed price, scope, allowances, payment schedule, and change-order process in writing before anyone lifts a tool.
- ·A one-year workmanship warranty — in writing, with a defined callback process.
- ·Reference projects you can actually verify — real addresses, real unit counts, real contacts.
A contractor who clears all five of those and holds BBB Accreditation is a very different proposition from a low bid with a phone number.
