On a single house $60k–$80k

The builder’s margin on a typical $400,000 residential build. Without a licence, that goes to whoever signs the contract instead of you.

Every job, every year 15–20%

Standard gross margin for a residential builder. Subcontracting means handing that percentage over on every project you touch.

Our promise 97%

Success rate in first attempt applications of our clients.

Your time ∼1 hr

Roughly what the whole application costs you personally. We assemble it, check it, and get it to the finish line.

Why it’s worth doing

The licence isn’t paperwork. It’s the ceiling on what you can earn.

Three things change when you get registered.

↑

Contract direct, not through someone else

No licence means another business holds the client, sets the price and takes the builder’s margin. A licence lets you sign the contract yourself and keep that margin on every job you run.

Applies in QLD & NSW
!

Unlicensed contracting is an offence

Queensland requires a licence above $3,300 of building work and New South Wales above $5,000 — thresholds far lower than most tradies assume. Beyond the penalty, unlicensed work can leave you unable to recover money a client owes you.

Penalties set by each regulator
✓

You can advertise and tender

Licence numbers have to appear on your advertising and contracts, and both regulators publish a public register. Builders, developers and councils check it before they engage anybody.

Over to you
Mutual recognition $990

Licensed in one state? The second one is faster.

If you already hold a current licence in Queensland or New South Wales, mutual recognition can get you the equivalent across the border without repeating your qualification and experience assessment from scratch. It’s the quickest licence you’ll ever get — and most builders don’t realise they’re entitled to it.
