Batiav is today displaying a redirect message to daborak.com. This domain name switch changes the game for anyone considering submitting a renovation project on this platform. Before sharing your contact details and renovation specifics, some technical checks are necessary.
Batiav Redirect to Daborak: What the Domain Change Reveals
The site batiav.com now redirects to daborak.com. This type of migration (301 redirect or client-side refresh) is not trivial. A brand change typically involves official communication, transfer of user accounts, and above all, continuity of legal notices.

We recommend checking three points before entering any personal data on the new domain:
- The presence of complete legal notices on daborak.com (company name, SIRET number, physical address, name of the publication manager). Their absence immediately disqualifies the site as a reliable interlocutor for a renovation project.
- The HTTPS certificate: a padlock in the address bar does not guarantee the site’s legitimacy, but its absence signals a direct risk to the confidentiality of data transmitted via a quote form.
- The consistency between the old brand and the new one: if there is no announcement, no explanatory page, or no transition history on daborak.com, the link between the two entities remains unverifiable.
An individual who wants to understand the Batiav platform for individuals must incorporate this break in continuity into their analysis. A domain that changes its name without public explanation does not deserve the same trust as an established platform with a verifiable history.

Confusion Between Batiav Renovation Platform and Batiav Streaming
Searching for “Batiav” on Google returns a mix of results that combine a platform connecting individuals with craftsmen and former illegal streaming sites blocked by internet service providers. This brand confusion is not trivial: it exposes individuals to dangerous clones.
Batiav has been associated for several years with unauthorized free streaming. Some domains take the name with different extensions (.lat, .org, .net) unrelated to construction. An individual searching for “batiav” to find a craftsman may end up on a streaming site riddled with malicious ads.
To distinguish the renovation platform from an unrelated site:
- Check that the site explicitly offers a renovation quote service, with categories of trades (plumbing, electricity, masonry, insulation).
- Search for the exact domain name on a verification tool like FranceVerif or Whois to identify the entity operating it.
- Beware of sites displaying a catalog of movies or series under the name Batiav: these are heirs of the streaming site, not construction platforms.
Check a Batiav Craftsman: Decennial Insurance, RGE, and Beyond the Form
Platforms connecting individuals and craftsmen operate on a simple principle: you submit your project, the platform forwards your request to registered professionals, and you receive quotes. The problem lies in the level of verification actually performed by the platform on the listed craftsmen.
No quote platform exempts you from verifying the decennial insurance of the responding craftsman. The decennial insurance covers damages compromising the solidity of the work for ten years after acceptance. Always request the current certificate, then verify it with the mentioned insurer.
For energy renovation work (insulation, heat pumps, joinery), the RGE label conditions access to public aid. A craftsman claiming to be RGE must be listed in the official directory of the qualification organization. A number displayed on a Batiav or Daborak profile means nothing unless it is cross-checked.
We regularly observe platforms displaying “verified craftsman” badges without specifying the exact scope of this verification. A badge does not replace either the decennial certificate or the original RGE certificate.
Quote Reception Times for Batiav and Limitations in Rural Areas
The promise of quick quote reception varies greatly depending on the location of the site. In densely populated urban areas, the density of craftsmen registered on this type of platform allows for receiving several proposals within one to two business days.
In rural areas or for specialized work (traditional framing, non-collective sanitation, decontamination), the delays can extend significantly. It sometimes happens that the individual receives no quotes due to a lack of craftsmen registered within the covered geographical area.
The service’s free nature for the individual relies on a commission charged to the craftsmen. This business model means that the most sought-after professionals may unsubscribe if the conversion rate does not justify the cost. The number of quotes received therefore directly depends on the attractiveness of your project to craftsmen in the area.
Before entering your site address and phone number on a platform whose domain has just changed, ask yourself a simple question: would you be willing to give this information to a company whose SIRET number, physical address, and name of the manager you cannot find? If the answer is no, wait for daborak.com to publish verifiable legal notices, or use a channel with established legal traceability.
