Why is a Licence Crucial?

In Queensland, if you’re undertaking any building or construction contracted works that is valued over $3,300 (this includes both labor and materials for each job, not per invoice), you’re required to be licensed. This mandate comes from the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), the government body responsible for issuing licences and regulating the industry. Not having the proper licence can lead to hefty fines, so it’s not something to overlook.

But the importance of being licensed goes beyond just staying on the right side of regulations. It opens doors to bigger projects, allows you to specialise in areas you’re passionate about, and lays the foundation for a thriving future in the industry. Essentially, it’s about building trust—showing your clients that you’re not only capable but also recognised by the QBCC for your skills, experience, and professionalism.

Let us help you navigate the trade licence application process, ensuring that you’re fully prepared to meet the QBCC’s requirements and step into your role as a licensed professional with confidence.
