In Queensland, individuals and companies must hold
a QBCC licence to carry out:
·
any building work with total value over $3,300 this
includes posts and earth works.
The value of building work is the reasonable cost
to a consumer of having the work carried out by a licensed contractor on the
basis that materials, labour and GST are included, regardless of who supplies
the materials. This can sometimes be referred to as the ‘market value’.
A trust cannot obtain a QBCC licence. The trustee
of the trust must apply for the licence.
Registered architects are able to carry out
building design work and perform building inspections on all types of
buildings. To check if your architect is registered, visit www.boaq.qld.gov.au
Licence
classes
The scope of work for
each QBCC licence class outlines the range of building work for that class. The
building work you do must be covered by your licence. For some work, you may
need more than one licence class.
