Form 43 is an aspect certificate with a defined scope, so ask your building certifier which form and inspection process apply to your particular building work.
What is Form 43?
Queensland's Form 43 covers an aspect of approved building work for a single detached class 1a building or a class 10 building or structure.
An appropriately licensed QBCC person completes it within the form's eligibility requirements.
The form records the work, property, certification basis, reference documents and licensee details.
How the certificate forms differ
| Form | Purpose described in the official guidance |
|---|---|
| Form 43 | QBCC licensee certificate for eligible aspects of approved class 1a or class 10 work |
| Form 12 | Aspect inspection certificate from an appointed competent person |
| Form 30 | QBCC licensee aspect certificate for accepted development |
| Form 16 | Inspection certificate for a stage of building work |
Who confirms the right paperwork?
Start with the building certifier responsible for the project and the contractor carrying out the work.
Business Queensland explains that the building approval sets out the inspection schedule and that the builder must notify the certifier when work is ready.
Confirm inspection arrangements and the documents to be supplied before tiling or other finishes cover the work.
Keep a clear waterproofing project record
Ask for documentation that identifies the property and the area covered, so you can connect each record with the actual work.
Keep the contract, invoice, product information, photographs supplied during the work and any certificate together.
Record who is responsible for supplying each item and when you'll receive it.
- Property address and the room or area covered
- Contractor identity and relevant licence details
- Specified products and the agreed scope
- Inspection and certification documents applicable to the project
- Written warranty terms and care instructions, where supplied
Looking for a certificate for existing work?
Start by requesting the project records from the original contractor, builder or building certifier.
Explain what documents you already hold and why further information is needed.
A suitably qualified professional can advise which investigation or documentation pathway is available for the existing work.
This website handles service enquiries, while certification decisions and certificates belong with the appropriately authorised professionals.

Is Form 43 the right form for every waterproofing job?
Its official scope is limited, so ask the building certifier to confirm the paperwork for your building and work type.
Can this website issue a waterproofing certificate?
The form is an enquiry channel; an appropriately authorised professional must handle certification for the project.
What should I include in an enquiry about paperwork?
Give the suburb, work description, building type and the document requested by the certifier, with existing records where available.
