Becoming a Builder in Australia

To be a builder Macedon Rangesyou will need to be a licensed professional.  You would oversee coordinating and overseeing the construction, repair, or renovation of commercial and residential buildings.  Many builders are considered qualified tradesmen but that is not a specific prerequisite.  This is because their main responsibility is to arrange the right tradesman to do the necessary work on site.

The Gisborne builder must have a broad knowledge of all the aspects of construction.  This includes assessing a site, producing cost estimates, obtaining permits, reading, and interpreting plans, planning, and managing the build process, and communicating with subcontractors.

Many times, residential builders will decide to specialize in a particular type of project.  This could be eco or green homes, housing developments, homes of a specific design, or custom builds.  A builder would be responsible for making sure that all the construction is done following state, national, and local regulations.  They also have to make sure that the worksite is compliant with the safety laws for the workplace.

There are different ways to become a professional Gisborne builder in Australia. 

  • Complete a safety induction course: If you want to work on a construction site in Australia you have to take general construction induction training.  When you finish and pass, you will need to get a White Card, which is nationally recognized.  Once you have this certification you can start to get experience on the building sites.  You will be considered an apprentice or basic laborer.  You will learn about the aspects of a construction project.
  • Study for a relevant degree: To be a licensed builder, you have to follow the criteria for qualification.  Each territory and state have their own criteria.  You should start by completing a Certificate V in Building and Construction.  This is the minimum level of education that most governing bodies require.  This course will teach you about the administrative side of the job, such as managing finances, producing cost estimates, and more.  You can go for the Diploma of Building and Construction to get more experience and knowledge.  In some states, this course is a requirement.
  • Get experience: To be registered as a builder in any of the territories and states you have to have a minimum of two years of experience.  In some instances, you will need seven years under the supervision of a licensed builder.  Most get this experience working as an apprentice. 
  • Get your license: You will have to be licensed by the governing body of the territory or state where you work.  You may also have to undergo a police check, get more experience in a particular role, or have a certain amount of money at hand.
