Choosing the right contractor for your building work is one of the most important decisions you will make.
Generally, building work over the value of $3,300 must be carried out by a QBCC-licensed contractor.
Some types of building work must be performed by a licensed contractor, regardless of the value of the work, including:
- Draining
- Plumbing and Drainage
- Gas Fitting
- Chemical Termite Management
- Fire Protection
- Completed Residential Building Inspection
- Building Design
- Site Classification
- Hydraulic services design (work up to $1,100 can be done without a licence)
A contractor that holds a QBCC licence has met certain minimum requirements of technical merit and financial soundness.
Contractors carrying out asbestos removal or demolition work must hold a licence from Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.
