Yes. In Queensland, waterproofing for wet areas must comply with AS 3740 and the National Construction Code. Under the QBCC Act 1991, waterproofing work must be carried out by contractors licensed with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC). Before you book, check the contractor's licence on the QBCC register and ask for a certificate of currency for their insurance.

A standard bathroom waterproofing job takes 2-3 days including surface preparation, membrane application, curing time, and flood testing. Brisbane's subtropical climate can affect curing times — high humidity may extend drying periods slightly. The contractor you speak with can give you an accurate timeline in their quote.

AS 3740 is the Australian Standard for waterproofing of domestic wet areas. It specifies minimum membrane requirements, bond-breaker placement, and testing protocols. Non-compliant waterproofing can void insurance and create costly structural problems. Ask your contractor to confirm in writing that their work meets AS 3740.
