Does my builder need to be registered/licensed?
- This depends on which state or territory you live in and the value of the proposed works.
- For example in Victoria if the value of the works is more than $5000 the builder must be registered. This is to ensure that they have the necessary skills and will be covered by insurance.
- Check with your state or territory Fair Trading Office or Building Commission or Board to find out the minimum value of works that require a registered or licensed builder.
