Fencing for Council & Department of Housing Projects

Council and Department of Housing fencing work is a different game to a backyard fence. The fence itself might be standard, but the compliance, insurance and documentation around it are where these jobs are won or lost. Here's how we approach them.

Licensing and insurance, properly covered

Government and council contracts demand a current QBCC licence for the work, public liability cover at the required level, and workers' compensation — with certificates supplied up front. We keep these current and provide them as part of engaging, not as an afterthought.

Working to spec

These jobs come with drawings, specifications and standards, and they expect the fence built to them — the right height, the right materials, the right compliance for the setting (security fencing, pool barriers, acoustic fencing near residents). We build to the spec and document it.

The things that keep these jobs clean

• Underground protocol — Before You Dig enquiries and private service locators where needed, so there are no service strikes.
• Site conduct — inductions, safe work practices and a tidy site.
• Paperwork on handover — the documentation these clients need to sign the job off.

Why it matters

For a council or a housing project, engaging a contractor who isn't properly licensed or insured isn't just risky — it can be non-compliant. Getting that right is exactly the sort of unseen groundwork we take seriously on every job.
