01
Trade scope
The application should start with the work you actually want to quote, contract or supervise.
Contracting directly
QBCC trade contractor applications for trades ready to quote their own work.
Support for trades who need the scope, qualifications and documents organised before lodgement.
Scope mapped to the work you quote
RPL or training need checked
Application documents prepared in the right order
What the application needs
What has to be clear before a trade application moves forward.
Trade contractor applications can look simple until scope, qualification and business structure questions overlap. We help put the right order around those decisions.

02
Technical qualification
The trade class needs the right qualification, whether through existing credentials, RPL or further training.
03
Managerial requirement
Some trade contractor pathways require a managerial qualification or business competency component.
04
Business structure
Sole trader, company and nominee context can affect how the application should be sequenced.
How BLS helps
Where BLS fits.
We help keep trade contractor applications focused on the licence outcome, not just the first form or course someone suggests.

You bring the experience. BLS carries the application work with you.
Map the trade scope to the work you want to take on.
Check qualification and RPL gaps before you commit money.
Prepare application documents around the individual or business pathway.
Flag company or nominee questions early where they affect the sequence.

Carpenters, waterproofers, painters, roofers, tilers, cabinetmakers and other trades moving into direct contracting.
Subcontractors unsure which licence pathway applies to the work they want to quote.
Trades who want to avoid paying for training before checking what the application actually needs.
