New building forms are now available

Building forms 12, 15, 16, 17 and 18 have been amended by the Queensland Department of Energy and Public Works.

The new, updated forms can be downloaded now and must be used from 1 May 2023.

You can immediately start using the new updated Forms 12, 15, 16, 17 & 18. The new forms can be downloaded here.

Prior versions of these forms signed before 1 May 2023 remain valid and can still be accepted by a building certifier, builder, competent person or owner. However, you should now use the new forms where possible. 

Please also be aware of the new (non-mandatory) Form 73 - Product Technical Statement available.
