The VBA states the following:
Registered builders, contractors and tradespeople must have domestic building insurance for all work over $16,000 (to cover you if they die, become insolvent or disappear). This is in addition to the builder's contractual obligations and warranties."
So, if a builder subcontracts out to a bricklayer and the bricklayers invoice is more that $16,000, must the bricklayer also have provided domestic building warranty insurance for the job and should the bricklayer be a registered building practitioner because the works are over $16,000.
Bricklaying is considered building works.
