Implement mandatory licences for builders
We want the Government to implement mandatory Licences for Builders to trade. Currently there are no standards, proof of competence, nor legal requirements before they can trade. We believe many people have had their lives ruined by rogue traders and cowboy builders that the Govt must take action.
Pass laws concerning Builders and their standards of practice. They should be qualified to trade in their field - showing competence.
The Govt should work with partners to implement and maintain standards through a licencing system, funded by the licencing fee. This should involve following up on jobs and checking on standards, with a register of approved traders.
The homeowner needs protection from unscrupulous builders. The unscrupulous builders can also harm decent traders, ruining the reputation of trades.
