01What changes in Brisbane
QBCC’s restricted kitchen, bathroom and laundry builder class covers installation, refurbishment, restoration and repair within stated building and size limits. It excludes building work affecting structural performance and does not authorise a person to carry out work needing an occupational licence unless they also hold it. Queensland plumbing guidance says regulated plumbing and drainage needs appropriately licensed people, and major bathroom changes can fall within the notifiable-work system.
A Brisbane campaign should ask whether fixtures move, walls change and who coordinates each trade before making a compliance statement. Body-corporate work also needs the applicable approval where common property is affected. Logan, Redlands, Moreton Bay and Ipswich create different consultation and supervision travel, so the service promise should match current capacity.
Wet-area advertising should describe inspection, substrate preparation, junctions, falls and protection without guaranteeing a leak-free result. Demolition questions should include approximate age and suspected hazardous materials without asking the homeowner to remove tiles or linings.
