A builder provides a building service. They will be required for any building work that requires building approval. Builders generally manage and coordinate the building of your home or renovation, including employing sub-contractors for parts of the work. Builders can only do specific projects based on their class of licence. If you’re hiring a company or partnership to be your licensed builder, get to know who the licensed nominee is that will supervise your building work. It is best to outline your agreement in a detailed written contract. The nominee must be a licenced builder in the appropriate class required for the relevant building work being undertaken.
