Building Licensing & Rules in Queensland
Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Queensland.
Builder licence classes
Building work over AUD 3300 requires a licence. Licence classes include Low-Rise, Medium-Rise and Open. Applicants must hold a Certificate IV in Building and Construction or equivalent, demonstrate two to four years experience, provide financial information and references and show eligibility for the home warranty scheme.
Queensland home warranty scheme
The Queensland Home Warranty Scheme is compulsory for residential building projects over AUD 3300. The contractor pays the premium and includes it in the quote. Cover lasts six years and six months and protects homeowners against incomplete or defective work if the builder dies, disappears or becomes insolvent.
Development and building approvals
Assessable development requires development approval under the Planning Act 2016 and building approval. A registered building certifier reviews plans for compliance with the National Construction Code and Queensland Development Code. Building work cannot start until a building approval is issued.
Work health and safety management
Builders must comply with the Work Health and Safety Act by preparing site-specific safety management plans, obtaining safe work method statements for high-risk tasks and providing induction training. They must manage site risks, including falls, electrical hazards, hazardous substances and traffic control.
Written contracts and payments
Residential construction contracts should be written, set out a fixed price and specify progress payments linked to construction stages. Deposits and variations must comply with Queensland building legislation, and premiums for home warranty insurance must be shown on invoices.
