Checking a Cairns builder: FAQ

How do I check if a Cairns builder is licensed?

Search the builder by name above. You see their QBCC licence number, class and the date of the QBCC register file we read, plus any QBCC suspension or cancellation since 1 July 2026. Confirm the licence on the QBCC licence register before you sign.

What should I check before signing a build contract in Cairns?

Confirm the QBCC licence covers your type of work, look for QBCC suspensions or cancellations, and check company records for the contracting entity. Most residential building work in Queensland over A$3,300 needs Queensland Home Warranty Scheme cover.

Are these records official?

Yes. Every fact comes from an official public register (the QBCC licensed contractors register, its suspension and cancellation lists, and ASIC) with its source and date. We add no ratings or opinions.
