Builder licence application
A builder licence lets you contract directly with clients, run your own sites, and build your own business. Dan makes the application process straightforward.
What a builder licence lets you do
- Contract, manage and supervise residential building work in your own name or under your company
- Take on new home builds, renovations and extensions
- Legally advertise and quote for work valued over $5,000
- Supervise subcontractors at every stage of construction
Why applications fail (and how Dan prevents it)
Most builder licence applications that fail or get delayed have nothing to do with qualifications. Here's what actually causes problems:
Incomplete experience documentation. The regulator requires detailed referee statements covering a wide range of building work stages. Generic or vague statements are the number one cause of delays — adding weeks to your timeline.
Referees who aren't properly licensed. Your referee must hold a current contractor licence in general building work. A referee whose licence lapsed — or who wasn't licensed during the period they supervised you — can invalidate your entire application.
Qualifications that don't tick the right boxes. Regulators are specific about which qualifications satisfy which requirements. Dan checks this before you apply.
