Applicants generally need to demonstrate the appropriate qualifications, practical experience and other eligibility requirements. The BPC also assesses whether applicants meet its fit-and-proper-person requirements, including through a criminal history check.
For domestic builders, choosing the correct registration class is particularly important. The BPC offers Domestic Builder Unlimited and various Domestic Builder Limited classes, with eligibility and scope depending on the work involved.
Assessment requirements have also evolved in 2026. The BPC began introducing a new examination model, starting with Domestic Builder Unlimited applicants.
