Domestic / Residential Building Sector

Become a member

Domestic or residential building work is work associated with the construction, renovation, improvement, or maintenance of a home. A ‘home’ can be categorised as any residential premises, such as houses, apartment buildings, units, cottages and hotels.

The thousands of domestic builders and tradespersons working across metropolitan and regional Victoria are responsible for the building and maintenance of the homes that house the millions of people living across our beautiful state.

This includes businesses of all sizes, from top tier volume builder corporations through to small family-owned businesses, each playing their part to deliver quality homes for Victoria’s ever growing population.

The sector’s workforce is made up of numerous different types of roles/jobs, including; project manager, architect, designer, carpenter, glazier, tiler, roofer, plumber, electrician, environment officer, safety officer, site hand, lead hand, surveyor, and many more.

A person registered as Domestic Builder Unlimited is responsible for carrying out, managing and arranging all components of domestic building work.

In residential construction, a builder or remodeler will hire subcontractors (or “subs”) to complete smaller, specialized tasks throughout a build. Typically, builders and remodelers delegate jobs to electricians, flooring specialists, landscapers, and other trades to ensure every element of their project is completed well and on time.
