What this licence covers:

In NSW, you need a contractor licence (according to NSW Fair Trading via the Building Commission NSW) to perform renovation work of kitchens, bathrooms or laundry when the contract value exceeds $5,000 labour + materials

“Kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovation” is defined as work involved in the installation, refurbishment, restoration and on-site repairs of or to a kitchen, bathroom or laundry. It does not cover work affecting load-bearing parts of the building (foundations, structural walls, beams etc). Important: You will need the above units and relevant experience before you apply.

"Holding the licence allows you to contract and advertise for relevant renovation work"

Licensed Contractor or Qualified Supervisor

Once you’ve met both the qualification and experience requirements and obtained your KBLR Contractor or Supervisor Licence through NSW Fair Trading, you’ll be authorised to:

Advertise and contract for kitchen, bathroom, and laundry renovation projects over $5,000 (labour + materials).
Supervise and coordinate trades on renovation projects.
Quote, tender, and manage client contracts under your own licence number.

Expanded Business Opportunities

This licence lets you move beyond subcontracting or single-trade work into multi-trade renovation management, including:

Running your own renovation business focused on kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries.
Employing or subcontracting licensed trades such as plumbers, tilers, electricians, and joiners.
Managing client relationships, project timelines, and budgets directly.

Essentially, it allows you to step up from a trade role into a business ownership or supervisory position in the renovation sector.

Increased Job Roles and Earning Capacity

Licensed individuals can take on roles such as:

Kitchen & Bathroom Renovation Contractor / Business Owner
Renovation Project Supervisor / Site Manager
Building Estimator / Contract Administrator (Residential)
Renovation Consultant or Coordinator

Because you can now contract directly with clients and oversee projects legally, you can increase your profit margins and work autonomously rather than as a subcontractor.

Pathway Toward Broader Building Licensing

The course also contributes toward future licensing pathways, as the Group B units (CPCCBC4001, CPCCBC4003, etc.) form part of the Certificate IV in Building and Construction, which is recognised nationally.

This opens progression routes to:

Builder Restricted Licence (Residential)
Full Builder Licence in NSW and other states (once experience and additional units are met).

Professional Credibility & Compliance

Being licensed under NSW Fair Trading gives you:

Legal compliance for renovation work.
Professional credibility with clients, insurers, and suppliers.
Eligibility for Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) insurance, required for jobs over $20,000.
