    Frequently Asked Questions for Builders

    How much notice do you need for inspections?
    24 hours is required. We recommend you refer to your Conditions of Approval for all inspection requirements. Additional notice may be required in remote areas.
    Can my engineer do the inspections?
    Once assessed as a Competent Person by the Building Certifier, an engineer is able to do inspections on particular aspects of the project. Footing/ slab and final inspections may only be conducted by a licensed Building Certifier.
    How long does it take for plans to be approved?
    The approvals can take up to a week, however most approvals are issued in a few days, assuming the application is complete and no further Council approvals are necessary.
    When does QBCC Home warranty insurance apply?
    QBCC Insurance is required where the cost of works is over $3,300 and work is being carried out by a licensed Builder. QBCC Insurance only applies to domestic work, including pools, patios, sheds etc. It does not apply for commercial or industrial building work.
    What is Q‐Leave and when does it apply?
    Q-Leave is a long service leave scheme that provides benefits to construction workers based on time worked in the industry rather than service to an individual employer. This Government levy is payable on all building work with a value of work over $150,000 + GST.
    Can you lodge plumbing applications to Council for me?
    Yes, where a new plumbing service is required, we will include the plumbing fees in our fee proposal and lodge the forms for you.
    What about Siting Dispensations and Town Planning Overlays?
    Yes, our fee proposal will outline our fees to prepare the reports and associated council fees. We have access to the local government lodgement portals and have longstanding relationships with council staff.
