What has to line up for an SA building work contractor licence.
In South Australia, the contractor licence authorises the business to contract for building work, but the scope and registered supervisor position have to support that licence.
CBS references
02
Supervisor registration
The contractor licence must be backed by a supervisor registration held by the applicant or another approved supervisor covering the same type of work.
03
Business structure
CBS can issue licences to individuals, partnerships and companies, and the correct licence holder depends on the business structure.
04
Domestic building obligations
Domestic building work can also involve contract, licence number display and building indemnity insurance obligations that need to be understood before trading.
