Queensland Builders Licence Requirements
Before you can be approved for a QBCC licence, you must meet strict eligibility requirements across qualifications, experience, referees, and financial capacity. Most builder licences require a relevant qualification, such as CPC40120 Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Low Rise), or a higher qualification like CPC50220 Diploma in Building and Construction (Medium Rise) or CPC60220 Advanced Diploma in Building and Construction (Open), depending on the licence class. You must also demonstrate industry experience in the scope of work for your licence — generally 2 years if you hold a carpentry or bricklaying/block-laying qualification, or 4 years for most other applicants. Your experience must be verified by suitable referees, who should ideally hold a QBCC licence or qualification at the same or higher level than the class you're applying for (or, in some cases, hold a supervisory or managerial role). In addition, many applicants must meet the Minimum Financial Requirements (MFR), which assess your business's financial position and structure.

Licences We Help With
We support a wide range of QBCC licence types depending on your qualifications, experience, and business structure. Builder — Low Rise is the most common licence for residential builders working on houses, garages, and sheds up to 3 storeys. Builder — Medium Rise covers more complex residential and commercial projects up to 3 storeys, while Builder — Open is the highest class with no building height or project restrictions. We also assist with Trade Contractor Licences for licensed trades such as plumbing, electrical, and air conditioning. For businesses operating under a company or partnership structure, we help with the required company or partnership licence setup.
