Carpentry

Carpenters build and fix the timber and steel frames of a house, and the doors, windows, stairs and floors that go in it.

28,070 licensees on QBCC’s register hold this class. 24,117 hold it as a contractor licence, so can sign a contract with you directly.

What this licence covers

Wall and roof frames in timber or steel
Internal walls that don’t hold up the roof
Windows and doors, including the frames, locks and handles
Floor and ceiling framing, and timber or sheet flooring
Outside cladding, fascias and eaves linings
Metal roofing
Timber stairs
Internal linings, panelling and mouldings
Simple concreting, including formwork and reinforcement

Not covered

Plumbing, drainage, gas, electrical or termite work

Good to know

Like most trade licences, it also lets the holder do small jobs from another class that are part of the main job, as long as each is worth less than $3,300 and isn’t plumbing, drainage, gas or other work that needs its own licence.
