Contact Australia’s licensed building contractors directly, from national construction companies to local renovation builders. The list starts from every state and territory’s builder licence register, current licences only. We then added the Australian Business Register and the builders’ own websites and public business pages. Every builder in the file can be contacted: anyone without a published phone or email is left out. There is one row per licensed builder, with their licence number, licence class and ABN.
