I think the consensus here is that any curator that says a developer must use someone from an approved list is probably going beyond their powers. They may open themselves to legal action from those not on the list, while if an "approved" contractor does an incompetent job they may be open to legal action from the developer.
There are small, one-man-band type companies who do competent work, so it can be done. However, it does take a lot of preparation, tooling-up and careful thought before going into business in this way. Anyone doing it on an ad-hoc, spur-of-the-moment basis is unlikely to be able to meet IFA standards and may fall down on other grounds as well.
