Hiring a Builder in Cairns
Before hiring any builder in Cairns, use this checklist to protect yourself and ensure you're working with a properly licensed and insured professional.
- Verify their Queensland Building and Construction Commission licence is current — Search the tradesperson's name or licence number on TradieVerify or the Queensland Building and Construction Commission register. Confirm the licence class covers your project type and check for any conditions or disciplinary history.
- Check for current insurance — Ask for proof of public liability insurance (minimum $5 million recommended) and workers compensation insurance if they have employees.
- Get a written quote — Ensure the quote details the scope of work, materials, labour costs, and any potential additional charges. Verbal quotes are not sufficient for larger jobs.
- Ask about warranties — Reputable builders offer a warranty on their workmanship (typically 12 months). All materials should come with manufacturer warranties.
- Confirm compliance certificates — For any regulated work, your builder must issue a Certificate of Compliance to the relevant authority upon completion.
Get at least three quotes and compare not just price, but response time, warranty on workmanship, and whether the quote includes parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a builder's licence in QLD?
You can verify any builder's licence using TradieVerify's free search tool or directly through the Queensland Building and Construction Commission register. Enter the builder's name or licence number to confirm their licence status, class, and any disciplinary history.
What should a builder's licence number look like in QLD?
QLD builder licence numbers are typically 5-8 digit numbers issued by Queensland Building and Construction Commission. The number should appear on all official documentation, quotes, and advertising materials. If a builder cannot provide their licence number, this is a red flag.

Hiring an unlicensed builder puts you at significant risk. You will have no access to statutory warranties, no consumer protection through Queensland Building and Construction Commission, and the work may not comply with Australian standards.
