Ensuring Safe and Compliant Signage in Queensland

SignSite Group is a licensed builder in Queensland, holding QBCC License #15154090, ensuring our compliance with the stringent building laws of the state. Our commitment to safety and quality extends nationwide, with additional licenses in Victoria (VBA Commercial License #CCB-L-66112) and Tasmania (Commercial License #375964863). These licenses, recognised across Australia, allow us to undertake commercial projects nationwide.

The Importance of Licensing in the Signage Industry

In Australia, many signage companies operate illegally, posing significant risks to clients and the public. Unlicensed companies compromise safety, similar to the dangers presented by unlicensed electricians or plumbers. Signage installation involves working with electrical equipment, welding, fabrication, footings, concreting, mechanical fixings, and installing structures in public spaces. Non-compliance with building codes can lead to serious injuries, void insurance policies, and hefty fines or imprisonment for illegal trades.

The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) plays a crucial role in regulating and ensuring that businesses operate safely and adhere to codes. Their oversight minimises the risk of insolvency affecting clients and enhances public safety through stringent penalties for illegal trades.

Regulatory Compliance for Signage Companies

According to QBCC regulations, signage companies must hold a Builder License - "Special Structures" for the following activities:

  • Construction, installation, maintenance, or repair of signs and supporting structures.
  • Concreting work for footings for supporting structures.
  • Preparation of plans and specifications for signs and supporting structures for personal use or for work performed by the licensee.

Only minor tasks, such as flat sheeting or graphics under the contract value of $3000 + GST, can be performed without a builder's license. All significant tasks, including electrical, framing, welding, and installation, require legally licensed trades.

Compliance Documentation and Licensing Specifics

The QBCC regulation (Part 9, page 134, license class 1 (2) Signs) outlines the necessary licensing requirements for all aspects of signage work. It is important to note that licenses cannot be shared or transferred between companies, ensuring accountability and compliance for each trading entity.

For more detailed information, refer to the QBCC website: Builder - Restricted to Special Structures.

At SignSite Group, we prioritise adherence to these regulations, ensuring that every project we undertake is safe, compliant, and of the highest quality. Choose SignSite Group for reliable, licensed signage services in Queensland and beyond.
