Maybe you’ve just received a flyer or magnet in your mail box for a service that you just need right now!

You can check a contractor has a current licence by logging onto the Queensland Building and Construction Commission website (QBCC). This site is a great way to find out if you are dealing with a licenced builder and whether or not that builder/contractor has had any recent breaches or fines.
If you are not looking for a builder, you can also check out credentials
