Part 3: Licensing duties of contractors, nominees and owner-builders – Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991

Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 s42: s 42 Carry out or undertake building work only under an appropriate contractor's licence

Unless exempt under Schedule 1A, a person must not carry out, or undertake to carry out, building work without a contractor's licence of the appropriate class. Maximum penalty 250 penalty units for a first offence, 300 for a second, and 350 penalty units or 1 year's imprisonment for a third or later offence or where the work is tier 1 defective work (grossly defective work that makes the building unusable for its purpose or is likely to cause death or grievous bodily harm); at that level an individual commits a crime. A person who carries out unlicensed work has no right to payment, except reasonable remuneration capped at the actual cost of materials and labour supplied, excluding their own labour, profit, unreasonably incurred costs and amounts for their own benefit, and not above the agreed price.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • s12 s 12 Only licensed contractors, owner-builders and their employees do the work
  • s4 s 4 Unlicensed contracting: contract only under an appropriate contractor licence and engage only licensed subcontractors

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
