Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should I do if I receive a Show Cause Notice from the QBCC?
Act quickly. You usually have a short deadline to respond, and the way you reply can determine the outcome of your building licence. We can prepare a detailed response that addresses the QBCC's concerns and protects your position.
Can you help me if I'm outside Brisbane?
Yes. We assist builders, subcontractors, and homeowners across all of Queensland, including the Gold Coast. Most QBCC disputes can be handled by phone or video conference, ensuring you get specialist advice wherever your site is located.
Do I need a lawyer to deal with the QBCC?
You're not legally required to have one, but it’s strongly recommended. The QBCC has significant powers, and many building disputes escalate because incorrect information was provided early on. Getting Legal Advice from a building lawyer at the start can save you time, money, and stress.
What if my licence has already been suspended?
There are still steps we can take. Depending on the reason for Licence Suspension (e.g., financial requirements, unfit matters), we can apply for an internal review, negotiate with the QBCC, or help you rectify issues so your licence can be reinstated as soon as possible.
