Tips for rebuilding a removal dwelling

Rebuilding a removal dwelling can be a complex process. Below is advice to help you complete the process smoothly.

Costs

It is important to understand the full cost of completing all of the outstanding work on the house, as this can add up to tens of thousands of dollars. It is recommended you get in touch with your builder to discuss potential costs.

Approvals before and after

All removal houses must have approval before and after the house is moved.

Registered builders

If you require details of a licensed contractor further information can be found on the Queensland Building and Construction Commission.

Owner builders

If you are not using a licensed building contractor, you must complete an accredited training course and obtain an Owner Builder Permit from the Queensland Building and Construction Commission before you apply for building approval.

Selling the property

Your ability to sell the property in the future could be compromised if you do not obtain final building approval. It is recommended you discuss these matters with your builder and/or private building certifier.
