Applying for building consultant prequalification
To begin your PQC application you will be asked for your Digital ID. This verifies your identity and protects your company's information.
Once you have logged into the PQC portal using your Digital ID, complete the online registration form.
We will ask you for details including:
- company name
- ABN (registered for GST)
- ACN (if applicable)
- insurances
- office address
- licence or registration names and numbers (QBCC, Board of Architects Queensland, Board of Professional Engineers Queensland or equivalent)
- management system certifications (if applicable)
- project history, including referee reports.
There is no fee to apply for prequalification.
What happens next
Allow up to 4 weeks for us to process your application. The PQC team may contact you for more supporting information if required.
The PQC Registrar will send you an email confirming the outcome of your PQC application. If approved, you can review your registration status, including project types and maximum commission value, in your registration's portal profile.
To be invited to submit proposals for government building project commissions, you must:
- be appropriately registered in the PQC System
- meet project specific requirements.
Note: You can't tender for work as soon as you lodge your application. To be eligible to tender, you must be prequalified and registered on the PQC System.
Prequalification makes you eligible to compete for government building consultancies, but it doesn't guarantee work. You must still go through the submission, review and acceptance process.
Upgrading your registration status
If you have existing access to the online portal for your business, you may upgrade your registration at any time by logging back into the portal.
You can update licences, insurances, management systems, project types and work categories at any time via the portal.
If you wish to increase your maximum commission value, contact the PQC team, as you may need to give the PQC Registrar more information to do this.
If you don't currently have access to the online portal for your business, contact the PQC team for next steps to set this up.
Being removed from the register
We may remove a building industry consultant from the PQC register at any time if they can't satisfy any or all of the prequalification requirements.
