If you’re an individual looking to carry out residential building work in the Northern Territory, you must obtain a Building Contractor Residential Licence issued by the Northern Territory Building Practitioners Board (NTBPB).
This licence allows individuals to legally contract and carry out residential building work, including new builds, renovations, extensions, and repairs on homes and other residential properties. If you’re managing or supervising such work independently, this licence is mandatory under NT law.
At National Licensing, we help simplify the application process by assisting you to:
- Understand the eligibility requirements for individuals, including experience and qualifications
- Compile and prepare all required supporting documentation
- Submit a complete and accurate application to the NT Building Practitioners Board
- Identify the correct licence class based on the type and scope of work you intend to undertake
With our guidance, you can ensure your application meets all NTBPB standards – helping you get licensed efficiently and start working legally as a residential building contractor in the Northern Territory.
