Terms

Free to read, republished from a public register, and sold only as prepared files.

Using the site

The pages are free to read and to link to. The underlying facts come from a public register published under CC-BY 4.0, which permits re-use including commercially, with attribution to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. We claim nothing over the facts themselves.

The site is provided as it is. We take care over the extraction but do not correct the register: if the QBCC records a licence as covering carpentry, so do we. Nothing here replaces the QBCC's own licence search, and no decision to engage a contractor should rest on this copy alone.

Automated bulk retrieval of the pages is not the intended use. The same data is available as a file, described on the datasets page, and asking is faster than scraping.

Data sales

Alongside free consultation, this site offers datasets prepared from the public register. The pages of the site remain free ; what is charged for is the compilation work — extraction, reconciliation, dating and formatting.

Prices. Prices are shown in AUD, before any tax that may apply depending on where the buyer is established. They may change ; the price that applies is the one shown at the time of the order.

Ordering and payment. No payment is taken on this site and no bank details are entered here. Orders are placed by form or by e-mail ; an invoice is issued separately and is payable by bank transfer. Delivery follows payment unless agreed otherwise.

Delivery. By download link, as CSV and Parquet, with the field dictionary and the collection date. For a subscription, at every collection, for the period subscribed.

What is guaranteed, and what is not. We guarantee that the data delivered matches what was collected from the source on the stated date, and that the fields are those described. We do not guarantee that the source itself is complete or accurate : the register is published by a public body and we do not correct it. The data is supplied for information and does not replace consulting the official register.

If the delivery does not suit you. Tell us within fourteen days. If the delivery does not match what was described, it is corrected or refunded. A subscription can be stopped at any time for the following period, with no notice and no penalty.

Re-use. The underlying facts come from a public register and belong to no one. What you buy is the prepared file : you may use it inside your organisation and in your own products. Reselling the file as such, as a competing product, is not covered.
