We're All About Helping Building Businesses Stay Compliant and Keep Growing
You’ve established yourself as a capable low-rise residential builder, delivering quality projects and building strong client relationships. As your business grows, you may find your clients’ needs evolving—particularly into commercial construction or projects that fall outside your current licence class, such as those requiring a Medium Rise Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) licence.
Rather than stepping away from these opportunities or referring them elsewhere, Builders Helping Builders (BHB) provides a structured pathway to help you retain and service your clients as they grow. Through our Nominee Supervisor and licensee support model, we assist you in transitioning into higher-value and more complex projects while maintaining compliance with QBCC requirements.
Keep Your Business Operating Without Missing a Beat
A change in your licensee nominee doesn’t have to mean disruption. With the right support in place, you can transition smoothly, stay compliant with QBCC regulations, and continue winning and delivering work without interruption.
We work with you to understand your business structure, identify the right nominee match, and manage the application process from start to finish — so nothing slips through the cracks.

FAQs for QBCC Nominee Management
For existing builders and company directors in SEQ managing or replacing a QBCC nominee.
Can a company have more than one QBCC Nominee Supervisor?
Yes. A company can appoint multiple nominees — common where a company holds several licence classes and needs a qualified nominee covering each one.
Can one person be a nominee for multiple companies?
Yes, provided they can genuinely and adequately supervise the building work of each company at the same time. QBCC looks closely at whether someone spread across multiple companies can still meet the “adequate supervision” standard — it’s not a box-ticking exercise.
Does a nominee need to work full-time?
Not necessarily full-time hours, but their time commitment must be genuinely sufficient to provide adequate supervision. QBCC weighs up factors like employment status, distance from the work site, and any other nominee roles the person holds elsewhere.
What happens if our nominee resigns?
The company must notify QBCC within 14 days and appoint a replacement nominee as soon as possible. Operating without a nominee for an extended period puts the company licence at risk of suspension or cancellation, so it pays to act quickly.
Can a company change nominees later?
Yes — whether you’re replacing a departing nominee or bringing in someone better suited to your current workload, the process is the same: confirm the incoming nominee’s licence class matches the company’s, and notify QBCC within 14 days of the change.
How do I find a suitable Nominee Supervisor?
Look for someone holding the correct licence class, with genuine capacity to supervise your scope of work, and a real employment, director or secretary relationship with your company — not just a name on paper.
What questions should I ask before appointing a nominee?
Useful questions include: Do they hold the right licence class for our work? Can they realistically supervise this volume and location of work alongside any other roles they hold? Will they genuinely be involved on-site, or just listed on the licence? What’s their track record with QBCC compliance?
Is a part-time nominee legal?
There’s no rule requiring a nominee to work full-time hours, but their time commitment must be genuinely sufficient to adequately supervise the work. QBCC will scrutinise arrangements where a casual or part-time nominee is nominally overseeing a full-time operation.
How many projects can one nominee supervise?
There’s no fixed numeric limit, but the number must be realistic given the nominee’s other commitments. QBCC’s test is whether the nominee can still provide adequate supervision across everything they’re responsible for — more sites generally means more documented systems and oversight are needed to satisfy that test.
What makes a good supervision system?
A good supervision system includes clear documentation of how work is checked against plans and standards, a sensible schedule of site inspections relative to project size and risk, defined processes for catching and rectifying defects, and oversight that scales appropriately with the number and complexity of projects underway.
