23.01.2022 Did you know the technical interview for all builders conditions is now held over Zoom? This means you can do it from the comfort of your home! Or maybe the office might be a better option... Speak to Sam from SA Trade Licensing to get all the info, [email protected]

19.01.2022 Current Pass/Fail Rates for the SA Builders Technical Interview - see my stats below based on client/government/enquiry feedback: 1) New Build Residential interview - 80% fail rate 2) Renovations/Alterations/Structural - 65% fail rate 3) Restricted work e.g. retaining walls, gyprocking - 40% fail rate... People (generally) aren't failing because they don't know how to do the work, they're failing because they don't know the minimum Code/Standard requirements. FYI, the minimums are less obvious than you think... SA Trade Licensing has this information extracted, highlighted and ready to study plus we'll only provide realistic advice to increase your chances of passing!

19.01.2022 Want to hear Sam from SA Trade Licensing talk for 50 minutes? Probably not. But Clint from The Full Landscape did a great job in addressing the following SA builders licensing issues and common traps for new builders (Sam just provided the answers!): 1) Differences between contractors and supervisors licensing... 2) Common misconceptions that people may have when applying for licensing 3) Transferring licensing between states in Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H04zYpq9UFA

17.01.2022 Common questions for the residential builders interview - notching and trenching. Remember - it's all about minimums/maximums as per Code/Standard/Installation Guide. Sam from SA Trade Licensing has the information you need to study for the interview!

17.01.2022 General building contractors and QBE Builders Warranty Insurance Since 1 October 2020, QBE & Contractors go hand-in-hand for new applicants or any upgrades/changes! Don't think you'll automatically qualify for the insurance - it usually takes 4 weeks plus a lot of back-and-forth with QBE. Speak to Weber Insurance via the link below for assistance: https://www.webberinsurance.com.au/building-indemnity-insur

17.01.2022 How many years experience do I need to apply for a renovation or new build residential licence? Good question - it's not a question of how many years because anyone could say they've been a builder for 10 years, but only helped in actually building 2 homes start to finish... CBS wants to know how many jobs you've personally been involved in start to finish. If you've done more than 4 separate jobs - you have a good chance!... SA Trade Licensing will provide realistic advice based on your experience plus provide you the work history templates the interviewer is looking for!

15.01.2022 Do you get tested on plumbing/electrical in the interview? Short answer is no. But you need to know about CoC's, what they're used for and who gets copies! Sam from SA Trade Licensing has this info and everything else you need to know for any general builder technical interview!

15.01.2022 Important Update for all builders! New licence conditions available in the coming months. CBS will be releasing new builders conditions which from what I hear, will give residential builders more options in the renovators space. I'll have more info in the coming months and will let everyone know once it's live. Plus Ill adjust my interview preparation resources to give my clients the best possible chance of passing!

14.01.2022 Cyber crime against Aussie construction companies! I know this isn't technically licensing related but it affects us all, have a quick read of the below link when you can: https://www.cyber.gov.au//cybercriminals-targeting-constru

13.01.2022 How technical are the SA questions in the Residential Builders interview? Let's see 3 examples below: 1) Is 25mm the standard concrete cover for footings? 2) What's the fixings for tie downs to trusses? 3) In the shower area is it water resistant or waterproof? Expand on this.... If you feel you need support and study materials, contact SA Trade Licensing and we'll be happy to help!

07.01.2022 Cert IV units for General Builders - what to watch out for when enrolling SA Trade Licensing has updated their page about the additional 4 units required in the Cert IV Building Construction package - especially what to watch out for between training providers! Don't get lured in with just cheap pricing...there's usually a catch and you can't apply for a refund once enrolled! https://tradesa.com.au/contractors-business-units-sa-course/
