What the application needs
What has to line up for WA builder registration.
WA distinguishes the registered practitioner position from the business authority to contract. The builder registration evidence needs to support the work and role being claimed.
02
Competence and experience
Registration is tied to skills, experience and capacity to deliver building services, so project evidence needs to show the role performed and work type.
03
Contracting sequence
If the goal is to contract for building work, practitioner registration and the building service contractor licence position should be mapped together.
04
Scope and thresholds
WA building work thresholds and exemptions can change, so the work type, building class and value should be checked against current Building and Energy guidance.
