Three checks before you sign a building contract
The right licence for the job
Each licence class covers set work, and only a contractor licence lets someone sign a contract with you. A supervisor licence alone doesn’t.
Home warranty insurance
For residential work over $3,300, your contractor must take out QBCC home warranty insurance for the job.
A capped deposit
A deposit can be no more than 20% on jobs of $3,300 or less, 10% on $3,301 to $19,999, and 5% on $20,000 or more.
