- 1NSW · Licence needed from: Add the cost of labour and materials, including GST.
- 2VIC · You do not need a registered builder for a contract just for wall or floor tiling, whatever it costs.
- 3QLD · Licence needed from: Wall and floor tiling has its own licence class. Smaller jobs inside a bigger licensed contract still need a licence.
- 4SA · Licence needed from: Staff employed by a licensed business need no licence of their own.
- 5WA · Licence needed from: Only permit work in the main populated areas needs a registered builder. A tiler working for one needs no registration.
- 6TAS · Licence needed from: Replacing tiles with the same or similar tiles is low-risk work. Tiling within a kitchen, bathroom or laundry renovation can need a licensed builder.
- 7NT · Licence needed from: Registration covers a new home or an extension that adds floor area. It also covers a garage, carport or retaining wall built with it.
- 8VIC · A contract just for wall or floor tiling does not get these protections. A bigger building job that includes it does.
- 9NSW · Deposit cap: Applies to jobs over $5,000. The cap does not apply to smaller jobs.
- 10SA · Deposit cap: Applies only to contracts of $20,000 or more. Smaller jobs have no deposit limit.
- 11WA · Deposit cap: This limit applies to jobs that cost more than $7,500 and less than $500,000.
- 12NT · Deposit cap: Applies only to a registered builder's contract of $25,000 or more. It covers a new house, an extension or a structure built with it.
- 13NSW · Cooling-off: The price includes GST.
