Underpinning Licensing & Rules in Victoria

Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in Victoria.

Registered domestic builder

Underpinning and restumping must be carried out by a registered domestic builder. Domestic Builder Unlimited can manage all components; Domestic Builder Limited (footings and slab or re-stumping) covers specific footing work.

Domestic building insurance

For residential building projects over $16,000, builders must obtain domestic building insurance before signing a major domestic building contract, receiving a deposit or starting work. The certificate must be given to the owner within seven days.

Major domestic building contract

Work costing more than $10,000 requires a written major domestic building contract including statutory warranties, cooling-off period and progress payment schedule. Work cannot start until the contract is signed.

Building permit required

Structural work, including underpinning, requires a building permit issued by a registered building surveyor. Work cannot start until the permit is granted and must comply with the Building Act and National Construction Code.

General construction induction card

All construction workers must hold a White Card obtained through accredited training. Cards from other states are recognised.

Public liability and workers insurance

Maintaining public liability, workers compensation and professional indemnity insurance is recommended to protect against injury or defective work claims.
