Why you need a builders licence in WA

In Western Australia, holding a builders licence is imperative for anyone engaging in construction activities. This licence is a testament to one's competence and ensures adherence to strict industry standards and regulations. Additionally, it provides legal protection for both builders and clients, guaranteeing that projects are executed safely, professionally, and in compliance with local building codes.

Without a valid builders licence in WA, individuals risk facing severe penalties, legal ramifications, and potential project setbacks, making it a fundamental requirement for anyone involved in the construction industry within the state.

You must be licenced to:

  • Undertake building work exceeding $12,000.
  • Enter into residential building construction projects.
  • Advertise or represent yourself as a builder in WA.
