What are the regulations to become an Owner Builder ?
An Owner Builder’s Licence is issued by the Queensland Building Services Authority (QBSA). They are located at 287 Ross River Road, Townsville and can be contacted on 4725 2588. If the estimated value of work is less than $11,000 (including GST) a person can nominate themselves to be an Owner Builder on the building work application form and needs no other paper work. If the estimated value of building work exceeds $11,000 the QBSA will issue an Owner Builder permit on application and this must be sighted by the Building Certifier before a Building Permit can be issued.
