Your company cannot contract building work in Queensland without its own QBCC licence and a nominee supervisor in the same class. We prepare both together, fix nominee changes fast, and include the QBCC fees in one package price.
A company is a separate legal entity. If it enters building contracts, invoices clients, or takes on projects in its own name, it must hold its own QBCC contractor licence. A director holding a personal licence does not extend cover to the company. Contracting through an unlicensed company is unlicensed contracting, with the penalties, insurance exposure and contract-recovery risk that follow.
A company licence cannot stand on its own. It is bound to a nominee supervisor.
Every company contractor licence must have a nominee supervisor. This is the licensed individual who is accountable for the company’s building work: supervising it, keeping the site safe, and ensuring it meets the codes and standards.

No. A company that contracts building work must hold its own QBCC licence in the company's name, supported by a nominee supervisor. A personal licence covers you, not the entity.
Yes. You cannot hold or obtain a company licence without one. Construction work cannot legally begin without a nominee.
A licensed individual, in the same class as the company licence, who is an employee, secretary or director, and who is accountable for supervising the company's building work. They cannot contract with the public if they are holding nominee supervisor licence.
No. We lodge the nominee's individual application at the same time as the company application, and coordinate RPL if a qualification is missing, so both progress together.
The application becomes incomplete and can stall unless it is corrected immediately. Handled quickly and correctly, you can keep your place in the queue rather than restarting. We manage exactly this.
Not always. If the new nominee and documentation are corrected and resubmitted quickly and correctly, the application can continue from where it was.
No. Construction work cannot legally begin without a nominee in place. No nominee, no company licence.
