Master Builders is the home of building. With more than 9,800 members, we're the peak industry association representing building and construction in Queensland since 1882. We support our members to operate professional and profitable businesses that deliver superior quality outcomes to their customers.
As the number one source of practical and relevant building information, we keep our members informed with regular updates on changes to laws, codes and regulations, employment and wages, and health, safety and environment.
Our community
Together we represent all sectors of building and construction. Our leadership team, staff, supporters and members unite with a shared purpose – to protect the industry, its people, and its future.
Training and education
With quality training courses developed specifically for the industry; expert advice on building, laws and contractual matters; employment and wages support; workplace health and safety advice; and a dispute resolution service, we help each person to become a leader in their field.
Strength in unity
Master Builders relies on strength in numbers to represent the interests of our industry. The stronger our membership base, the louder our voice. Our unified approach and commitment to comprehensive research and assessment of industry issues give us significant influence.
We use this influence to lobby all levels of government. Master Builders is heavily represented on key industry bodies and actively involved in developing policy. Our voice carries through regular and topical industry reports.
One industry, one contact
In today’s demanding work environment, where change is a constant, complexity is the norm, and new issues arise daily, having Master Builders as a single point to turn to is a distinct advantage to our members.
Members don’t need to understand every facet of what we do. They just need to know that we’re on their team – acting as a mentor and advisor when they need support and guidance.
