Penalties could be on the cards for careless builders as the Government looks to strengthen professional requirements.
It's eyeing key changes to the registration and licensing regimes, with a focus on lifting competence and accountability requirements; as well as improving Building Act consumer protections.
Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk confirms it's also looking into a new offence for deliberately hiding non-compliant building work in remote inspections.
That would mean a $50,000 fine for individuals or $150,000 for businesses, should it become law.
Kerre Woodham is joined by Master Builders Chief Executive Ankit Sharma to discuss further.
