Building and construction industry requirements

Many types of trades and services involved in and around the building and construction industry must follow the licencing and advertising requirements of the state in which they operate.

A condition of listing your business on What I Need is that you comply with any advertising requirements as set down in the legislation of the state in which you are carrying on a business. Any listing brought to our attention that fails to comply with relevant requirements may have their listing removed.

You are responsible for ensuring your listing follows any requirements but if you are not sure which if any apply to your business you can use the following links as a starting point to find out more information:
