Construction Licensing’s Initial Licensing Consultation (ILC) is a structured health check of an applicant’s current position against QBCC builder licensing requirements. Our ILC provides guidance to the applicant around whether they are ready to apply or whether they just fall short. Construction Licensing will help identify the risks, and map a clear evidence-based pathway forward.
