| A NSW contractor licence is needed to carry out, advertise or contract for building or trade work valued at more than A$5,000 in labour and materials, including GST.

This fills in the enquiry form below; nothing is sent until you submit it. Your details are handled under this site's Privacy Policy.
This lists each source's own lines as read; it is not legal advice, and it sets no price. The value that counts is the value of the work, including materials, labour and GST.
What changes a quote
How far the steel has corroded comes first: UNSW says the rust takes up more room than the steel it formed from, so the damage under a patch can be larger than the patch. Access comes second, because a balcony or landing on an apartment block is reached differently from a step at ground level. Whether a design is needed comes third: remedial building work in class 2 buildings needs a registered design practitioner's design.
Lines a government body sets
The checker below lists each rule with its source and read date. Over A$5,000 the contractor needs a NSW contractor licence and the owner must have a written contract; over A$20,000 the home building compensation cover line applies. It lists no council fee, because no fee for this work was read at a government page.
