QBCC - Home Warranty Insurance



What is the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) Home Warranty Insurance, and does it apply to me?

Yes QBCC Home Warranty Insurance Scheme is a compulsory insurance premium that must be paid for all construction work over the value of $3,300 (including GST) completed in Queensland. It is to offer consumer protection and ‘piece of mind’ to consumers engaging trade contractors for building and construction work in Queensland. More information about QBCC Home Warranty Insurance is available on request.

Kitchen Work Triangle

When considering a design for your new kitchen think of the Kitchen Work Triangle.

The main working functions in a kitchen are carried out between the cook top, the sink/dishwasher and the refrigerator/food storage. These three points and the imaginary lines between these three points make up the “work triangle”. 
The idea that when these three elements are close (but not too close) the kitchen will run efficiently. Obviously in single wall kitchens it is geometrically impossible to a achieve a triangle, but efficiency can still be achieved through optimal placement of these three items.
