It takes a lot of planning and work to get prepare a builders licence application. Even after you’ve already spent years getting your qualifications and experience together, you also need references and evidence to help support your application.
There are a lot of moving parts, and getting the paperwork right on the first try isn’t easy.
Once you get your builders licence application in to the QBCC, it’s not unusual to be asked for more information to help support the work experience you’re claiming. Around 4 out of 5 applicants get this type of request – and it can be really tough to get through. Maybe you’re being asked for a document that doesn’t exist, or for a type of industry experience you don’t have. Figuring out what to send back is challenging in itself – how much is enough?
If you’re having trouble with an application lodged to the QBCC right now, we can review and assess what needs to be done to help you meet those deadlines. Our team of specialists have years of experience helping people in that exact position – we provide support and guidance to help get you over the line.
Construction Licensing provides a range of services throughout the different stages of development your application will go through before it gets lodged to the Government for their assessment. We offer consultations to help confirm you’re on the right track, and proofreading services if you’ve done the groundwork and just want to check for errors before it goes in.
If despite your very best efforts your builders licence has been refused, there’s no waiting period before you can apply again. You do need to make sure that any fresh application addresses the reasons for refusal.
If you’ve been refused and don’t agree with the decision, or you want some help figuring out what to do for your next application, our specialists can give you detailed feedback about what your next steps might look like. Most importantly, don’t take it to heart – most people we meet have applied once or twice already, so you are absolutely not alone in feeling like you’re being told to start over.
It can be really, really hard to get a builders licence – even when you feel you’ve done all the right things and have all the right experience. Everyone knows someone who got their licence with half the knowledge or experience, but it isn’t about them. It’s about you against the current licensing criteria.
Whether it’s before, during or after your builders licence application is lodged, we can help you. Once something is lodged to the QBCC, it can’t be taken back: a second set of eyes is worth the investment.
