Brisbane's inner city is dominated by apartments, heritage homes and commercial fitouts. Tight off-street access and council requirements make local knowledge and proper licensing especially important for trades working New Farm, West End and Woolloongabba.
All building work in QLD over $3,300 must be performed by a QBCC-licensed builder. Major renovations, extensions and new homes also require Development Approval (DA) from your local council. The QBCC license tier dictates what scope of work is permitted.

QBCC Builder License. Tiers: Builder — Open (any value), Builder — Low Rise (up to 3 storeys), Builder — Medium Rise, Builder — Restricted to Structural Landscaping. Mandatory home-warranty insurance on most domestic work.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- •Choosing the lowest quote without verifying QBCC license tier — builders working outside their tier breach contracts and home-warranty cover
- •Skipping the QBCC home-warranty insurance certificate — leaves you uninsured if the builder folds mid-build
- •Starting without a written contract — QLD requires one for domestic building work over $3,300, and it's your main protection on scope, price and timeline
Builders in Inner City — FAQs
How do I check a builder's license?
Search at qbcc.qld.gov.au — public register shows license number, tier, expiry, and any history of complaints or disciplinary action. Verify before signing any contract.
What's the difference between an extension and a renovation?
Extension adds floor area or rooms (usually requires DA). Renovation works within the existing footprint (often only Building Approval needed). Council requirements differ; ask your builder which applies.
Do I need council approval or a private certifier?
Most extensions, raised decks, and structural work need building approval — usually via a private building certifier in QLD, sometimes with council planning approval too. Your builder or certifier confirms what your specific job needs.
What is QBCC home warranty insurance?
For most domestic building work over $3,300, the builder must pay the QBCC Home Warranty Scheme premium before starting. It covers you if they don't finish or the work is defective — always get the certificate before work begins.
