01What changes in Brisbane
The Queensland Building and Construction Commission publishes distinct builder classes including low rise, medium rise, open and restricted classes for areas such as kitchen, bathroom and laundry work, structural landscaping and special structures.
Its guidance tells applicants and licensees to ensure the licence class covers the intended scope and to obtain additional classes where work falls outside incidental allowances. QBCC also says contractors must take out Queensland Home Warranty insurance for insurable residential construction work valued above $3,300, subject to the scheme’s definitions and exclusions.
A Brisbane campaign should therefore identify the project and building class before making a licensing or insurance claim. Logan, Redlands, Moreton Bay and Ipswich span a wide operating area, so genuine supervision zones, minimum project profiles and current capacity are better qualifiers than an “all Brisbane” headline. Flood, slope, soil or site-access issues may matter to feasibility, but the ad must ask for known information and leave technical conclusions to appropriate professionals.
