Statistics on Builders in Australia
The industry of building has three sectors. First is the
residential building, which is building for homes, apartments, condominiums.
Second is the non- residential construction, which is concerned in building
shops, hotels, and other commercial structures. The third sector is the engineering
building, which is for roads, bridges, sewers, and the like. Both private and
public sectors are concerned with the building the infrastructures in this
country, though private sectors will be mostly geared towards residential and
non residential dwellings, and the public sector more towards the engineering
side of construction.
New Licenses
Individuals or companies involved in the building industry must procure licenses to build in Australia. To get a builders’ license, you must first pass the board examinations. If you are able to meet the standards, and showed eligibility for the work, the Australian government will grant you a license to work as a builder. You can fill up the forms or register online, or phone 131 882, to have the staff complete the forms for you so you can sign it afterwards. You can also visit the CBS customer service centre in Adelaide to have assistance to have it done in person. All of these building and contractor licenses will require renewal every year.
Expired licenses
Australian building licenses require renewal every year, though some licenses can last for up to three years. To renew your license, you may go directly to the government offices, or simply have your renewal followed up online. The Australian government industry site gives you the option for online renewal.
