WHAT ARE THE BUILDING CLASSES IN QUEENSLAND?

Ever wondered, or are you wondering why buildings are classified? You’re not alone!

There are many different structures which can be built – all different in sizes, and are used in different ways. They also have different levels of safety; rules and regulations which are required to be adhered to.

By classifying these structures into different classes, it identifies key physical traits of each building and what it is used for, and ensure that all building work complies with the required code associated with that class.
