QBCC licences
QBCC Builder licences (Low-Rise, Mid-Rise and Open) give you the authority to take on projects of increasing scale across Queensland. Low-Rise covers houses, townhouses and small commercial jobs. Mid-Rise extends to projects up to three storeys, while the Open licence covers all classes of buildings, including high-rises and complex developments. These licences provide a clear pathway for builders to expand their scope, win bigger contracts and stay compliant.
Low-rise Licence
The Low-Rise licence is the foundation for builders wanting to take on houses, townhouses and small commercial projects. It’s the ideal starting point for stepping up from trade or site management into running your own builds.
Medium-rise Licence
The Medium-Rise licence extends your authority to projects up to three storeys, including apartment blocks and medium-scale commercial buildings. It’s the natural next step for ambitious builders looking to expand into larger, more complex work.
Open Licence
The Open licence is the highest builder credential in Queensland. It authorises you to construct all classes of buildings, from high-rise towers to major commercial developments. This licence positions you to lead the state’s biggest and most challenging projects.
