What do builders do?
Licensed Australian builders manage residential and small commercial construction work end-to-end — from concept and approvals through to handover. On TaskerAsker, builders quote on new-home construction, knock-down rebuilds, extensions and second-storey additions, full bathroom and kitchen renovations, deck and pergola builds, granny flats, structural repairs, and project management of multi-trade renovations.
Every state and territory licenses builders differently — NSW Fair Trading, the VBA in Victoria, QBCC in Queensland, the WA Building Commission, CBS in South Australia, CBOS in Tasmania, Access Canberra in the ACT, and the NT Building Practitioners Board. TaskerAsker collects the licence number and class before a builder can quote, alongside ABN verification and an identity check.

Things to check before you hire a builder
- Licence and class. Confirm the builder holds the right state licence and class for your job size — TaskerAsker displays the licence number on every verified profile.
- ABN and trading name. Cross-check the ABN on abr.business.gov.au and ensure it matches the trading name on the quote.
- Public liability and home indemnity insurance. Ask for current certificates — typical public liability cover is $10M–$20M.
- Written, fixed-price contract. For any job above your state's threshold, the builder must use a compliant residential building contract — never proceed on a quote alone.
- Deposit cap. Deposits are capped by state law (commonly 5–10%).
- Workmanship warranty. Statutory warranties apply (commonly 6 years structural / 2 years non-structural).
