Building Services Authority Website
The Building Services Authority (BSA) is a statutory authority established under the Building Services Authority Act 1991.
The BSA's charter is to regulate the building industry through the licensing of contractors, educate consumers about their rights and obligations, make contractors aware of their legal rights and responsibilities, handle disputes fairly and equitably, protect consumers against loss through statutory insurance, implement and enforce legislative reforms and where necessary prosecute persons not complying with the law.

BSA seeks expressions of interest for Tender Panels statewide
BSA, through its Home Warranty Insurance Scheme, arranges for the rectification and completion of building works for homeowners throughout Queensland. BSA facilitates the rectification or completion of the works approved by our Insurance Scheme through Building Contractors that pre-qualify for inclusion on a Tender Panel. We are now seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified building contractors who wish to be considered for inclusion on the BSA Tender Panel. More information, including application forms, can be found on our Tender Panel 2012 page.
Building Links February issue now available online
The February edition of the BSA's Building Links publication is now available. This edition includes articles about the BSA's YouTube Channel, developments at the BSA in 2012, employement opportunities as a BSA Building Inspector and a call for expressions of interest from contractors interested in inclusion on the BSA building tender panel.
Launch of New Contracts
On 9 December 2011 BSA launched updated versions of the Major Works Contract and the Minor Works Contract, to be known as the New Home Construction Contract (for building a new home) and Renovation, Extension and Repair Contract (for the renovation, extension, improvement and routine repair of an existing home, home unit or duplex). Click here to access the full range of BSA's domestic building contracts.
The new contracts are available immediately for free download or may be purchased in hard copy from any BSA office or via the Contract Order Form on this website.
Audits Protect Homeowners and Licensees
The BSA has recently conducted audits in Emerald, Cassowary Coast, Ipswich and Brisbane regions affected by flooding and cyclones.
The BSA conducts regular random compliance audits at building sites throughout Queensland to protect homeowners from unlicensed contractors, to protect licensed contractors from unfair competition and to maintain building standards.
The BSA's inspectors check that contractors are licensed, that compliant contracts are in place and that home warranty insurance premiums have been paid where applicable.
Remember, if a contractor can’t show you their licence, show them the door.
