About licensed builders in Port Phillip

In Victoria, domestic building work over $10,000 must be done by a builder registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission. Plumbing work needs a licensed or registered plumber at any value.

A licensed builder in Port Phillip holds a licence from the Victorian Building and Plumbing Commission that names the classes of work they may carry out. The licence has to be held by the business you sign with: a director's personal licence does not cover their company, and a licence in one class does not cover work in another.

TradesField reads QBCC and VIC Building and Plumbing Commission and the Australian Business Register and lists every company with a building & construction class in Port Phillip. Licence status is free to check. The Construction Background Report adds court, adjudication, ASIC and licence conduct records, graded A to E.
