About licensed demolition contractors in Melbourne

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 demolition contractor in Melbourne 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 demolition & removal class in Melbourne. Licence status is free to check. The Construction Background Report adds court, adjudication, ASIC and licence conduct records, graded A to E.

Listings come from QBCC licence search and Building and Plumbing Commission practitioner register records and the Australian Business Register, last read on 7 November 2026. Only companies and trusts are listed. Status is as the register showed it when we read it; confirm it with the regulator before you sign or pay a deposit.

A listing is a record, not a recommendation.

TradesField brings public register records together so checking a contractor is quicker. It does not replace the authorities that keep them. Records can change after we read them, and a register can hold something we have not matched, so check licences, company status and court records directly with the QBCC, ASIC, the courts and the relevant state regulator before you rely on them, sign a contract or pay a deposit. TradesField is independent and not affiliated with any government authority. Information here is general and is not legal or financial advice.
