Key Requirements:

  1. Qualification: You typically need a Certificate III in Concreting to qualify for registration.
  2. Experience: Practical experience in the field is required. For example, applicants must show proof of relevant work experience, particularly for more complex roles like domestic builders.
  3. Cost Threshold: You must be registered if you undertake any building or concreting work worth more than $10,000, including labour and materials.

  • Proof of identity (such as a driver’s licence or passport).
  • Evidence of qualifications and experience.

Make sure to keep your insurance up to date, as registered builders in Victoria are required to carry domestic building insurance for work exceeding $16,000, which protects consumers if the builder cannot complete the project due to death, insolvency, or disappearance​.
