Prequalification (PQC) System
The Prequalification (PQC) System provides a comprehensive central register of prequalified building industry contractors and consultants. It provides performance requirements and guidelines for the selection of all building industry service providers for government building projects.
Contractors and consultants can apply for PQC registration by clicking on the links for 'Contractors' or 'Consultants'.
Prequalification applies to all building industry consultants directly commissioned on government building projects where the commission fee exceeds $30 000 and/or the services risk rating is 3 or 4. It applies to all building industry contractors seeking to undertake government building projects valued at more than $250 000.
The PQC System is also available to be used to select key trade or specialist subcontractors for trade packages estimated to exceed $250 000, pending suitable arrangements with the head contractor.
There are no application or annual registration fees associated with the PQC System.
