Building and Plumbing Commission

The Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC) brings together the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), Domestic Building Dispute Resolution Victoria (DBDRV) and the domestic building insurance arm of the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) into one location. 

For the first time, regulation, dispute resolution and insurance are provided by a single agency, making it easier for consumers and practitioners to access building and plumbing services and information. 

The BPC:

  • Registers and licenses builders and plumbers
  • Inspects and audits building and plumbing work to ensure it meets standards
  • Provides a free dispute resolution service to help resolve building issues quickly and fairly
  • Manages and audits Domestic Building Insurance (DBI) for residential work over $16,000
  • Enforces compliance through rectification orders, disciplinary action and prosecutions where required.
