Hi everyone,

I am interested in becoming a domestic builder in Victoria to build houses / units (not apartments or high rises etc)

Could someone please enlighten me on the process of registering? There seems to be a lot of courses out there but I’m not sure what is the right one or what exactly is the VBA (Victorian building authority) requirement.

Kind Regards

    Did that really even sound clever in your head, before you typed it?
