QBCC LICENCE FAQ
QBCC Builder and Site Supervisor Licence Questions
Do I need a QBCC licence to supervise or build?
Yes. In Queensland, supervising or contracting building work requires the correct QBCC licence. If you are managing trades, coordinating site work, or contracting construction projects, you may need either a QBCC Builder Licence or a Site Supervisor Licence depending on your role.
What is the difference between Low Rise, Medium Rise and Open licences?
QBCC builder licences are divided into three levels:
- Low Rise Builder Licence: Allows construction of houses and small residential buildings up to two storeys.
- Medium Rise Builder Licence: Allows construction of residential buildings up to three storeys.
- Open Builder Licence: Allows construction of buildings of any height and class.
Each level requires different qualifications and verified construction experience.
How long does a QBCC licence application take?
QBCC licence application timeframes vary depending on the completeness of the submission and the type of licence.
Well prepared applications are typically assessed faster because the QBCC can verify qualifications and experience without requesting additional information.
With the right qualification, approval can take just 1–6 weeks. If you need RPL or extra training, expect 6–12 weeks.
Can I apply for a QBCC licence myself?
Yes. Individuals can apply directly through the QBCC.
However many applications are delayed because the experience evidence, qualifications or financial requirements are not structured correctly.
QBCC Express prepares licence applications so the regulator can assess them clearly.
What is the first step to get a QBCC licence?
The first step is confirming eligibility. This includes verifying your qualifications, construction experience and financial requirements for the licence class you are applying for.
