THE WORK
Tiling comes late in a build and is often on the critical path to handover, so builders need tilers who can start on time and finish cleanly. Many tilers work as subcontractors to builders, bathroom renovation businesses and tiling contractors.
Waterproofing often goes hand in hand with tiling. If you are qualified to waterproof, say so, because it changes who can do the whole job.
What to put in your Work Passport so companies can say yes quickly.
How to write a Crew Call that gets the right applicants.
NSW. In NSW you need a contractor licence for residential building or trade work valued at more than $5,000 in labour and materials, including GST. Check the licence category for wall and floor tiling and for waterproofing with Building Commission NSW.
Queensland. The QBCC has a Wall and floor tiling trade contractor licence class. In Queensland the QBCC generally requires a licence for building work valued over $3,300. If you subcontract to a licensed builder you need a contractor licence of the right class for your work. If you subcontract to a licensed trade contractor you may not need your own contractor licence, though occupational licences still apply.
Licensing rules change and depend on the work. Always confirm with the regulator in your state.
