What the application needs
What has to line up before a builder application is lodged.
QBCC builder applications are not just about years in the industry. The licence class, technical qualification, experience record, referees and business requirements all need to support the application position.

02
Technical qualification or RPL
QBCC requires proof of technical skills. RPL may help, but only after the target class and qualification gap are clear.
03
Experience record
Builder applications need enough project detail to show the work performed, the responsibility held and the relevant timeframes.
04
Referee support
Referees need to verify the experience being claimed and should be suitable for the builder class being applied for.
05
Business and financial context
Contractor applications may also involve business structure, MFR, turnover category and related supporting documents.
