see where this journey takes

The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) warned that in the rush to begin repairs, some owners may mistakenly hire unlicensed or unqualified workers, risking unsafe or defective work that could prove costly in the long term.

A QBCC spokesperson reminded homeowners to contact their insurer before starting any work to avoid complications with claims. It’s also important to ensure homes, particularly timber frames, are completely dry before plasterboard or other materials are installed.

By law, building work valued over $3,300 must be completed by a licensed contractor and accompanied by a written contract.

The QHWS, administered by the QBCC, provides coverage for defective, incomplete, or subsidencerelated work but only applies when a licensed contractor is engaged.

Electrical and plumbing work, regardless of value, must also be carried out by appropriately licensed professionals due to the health and safety risks involved.

Homeowners are encouraged to visit the QBCC website to access free contracts, disaster recovery resources, and the “Find a Local Contractor” search tool, which provides licence history and credentials.

Those concerned about structural damage should consult a licensed builder or engineer before proceeding with any work.
