Frequently Asked Questions

1. What qualifications and experience do I need?
You’ll need at least 3 years of paid trade work under a registered builder, multi-trade for Domestic Builder Unlimited or single-trade for Domestic Builder Limited. A clean character record is also required.
2. What about exams, interviews, and technical referees?
Most applications involve an online technical exam and a face-to-face VBA interview. You’ll need one or two registered builders to verify your experience via referee reports.
3. How long does the process take, and what’s the fee?
Processing usually takes 8–12 weeks once your application is complete. Fees vary by licence class (DB-U, DB-L, Manager) and you’ll also need domestic building insurance for work over $16,000.
4. What documents are required?
Provide evidence of trade experience, referee reports, identification, a police check, character declaration, and proof of insurance (if relevant).
5. What if I’m from interstate or overseas?
Interstate or overseas paid, supervised trade work is accepted. Just document it well and arrange referees who are VBA/BPC-registered.
6. What if I have trouble getting technical referees?
Referees must be VBA/BPC-registered. If you don’t know any, TVN Builders Academy can help match you with mentors or offer guidance for acceptable referee options.
7. Will owner-builder experience count?
No. Only paid, supervised trade work under a registered builder counts for registration purposes.
8. What if my application is refused?
The VBA will explain why. You can reapply after addressing those issues. You’re also entitled to an internal review or appeal to VCAT.
9. Can I apply before sitting the exams?
Yes. You can lodge your registration application before completing technical exams or interviews. The VBA/BPC will guide you through pending steps.
