She was very professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to my questions. Thanks to her support, the process was much easier than I expected. I highly recommend QBCC Express and Karen to anyone needing help with a builder license application.

Thank you for the great review. I’m really glad the process felt clear and manageable for you. Builder licence applications can quickly become overwhelming with the amount of documentation and QBCC requirements involved, so my goal is always to break it down step by step and make it as smooth as possible. I appreciate your trust throughout the process. Wishing you every success with your builder licence and the projects ahead.Posted on Jason brown759 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolute pleasure meeting and working with Karen Zhang. From the moment I signed up for the RPL until the QBCC appointment, the process was made so much smoother with the expert guidance by Karen. She recognised my skills and knowledge and knew that she could upskill my qualifications. Karen visited me on site, came for a site walk and engaged me in conversation, in a way that I did not know at the time, was gaining an understanding of my knowledge. This was done so casually, that I assumed I was just taking her for a site walk. Her questions were casual, but relevant to the qualification I was trying to obtain. Karen’s knowledge in construction is second to none. The RPL process and mapping was explained in a user friendly manner, and a list was given to me to put the RPL together, that was very easily accessible through my past experiences. I highly recommend QBCC express. The approach taken is highly professional, effective and efficient.

Karen and I submitted my application in person at the QBCC. The gentleman serving us was literally blown away by the application folder, the amount of information, and the professionalism of it. He literally commented “it was the best one he had ever seen!” Approval was due to take 9 weeks, but it was approved in 19 days! No requests for anything additional, just straight through!!!!! You are a true pro Kaz!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this. That day at QBCC is one I’ll remember for a long time. Hearing the assessor call it the best application he’d ever seen made all the hours of preparation worth it. Getting your approval in 19 days, with no extra requests, was a huge win and I’m glad you got the outcome you deserved. Appreciate the trust and the energy you brought to the whole process.Posted on Anmei Chen18 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
