Frequently Asked Questions — Brisbane and QLD Line Marking Contractor Network
For off-road work — warehouses, carparks, schools, sports courts — you don't need TMR approval. For work on state-controlled roads in Queensland, contractors must comply with TMR's Technical Specification MRTS45 (Road Surface Delineation) and the Queensland MUTCD Volume 3. LMA will brief you on specific project requirements before you attend any road-adjacent site. Most Brisbane work is off-road, so this isn't a barrier for the majority of leads.
You must hold your own public liability insurance with a minimum cover of $5M. You're operating as an independent contractor under the LMA brand — LMA's $20M public liability and $10M professional indemnity covers LMA's obligations, not yours. Most Brisbane contractors carry $10M to $20M PLI. This is non-negotiable and we'll ask for your certificate of currency before your first job.
LMA invoices the client and collects payment. Once payment clears, we pay your agreed share. Typically within 7 business days. You never chase money from clients. Your arrangement is discussed and agreed during your onboarding call. We don't publish split percentages publicly but active Brisbane contractors consistently earn $3,000 to $7,000+ per week depending on job volume and size.
The biggest volume is warehouse floor marking across the southern and eastern industrial corridors, carpark remarking across strata and retail, and road line marking for councils and developers. Sports courts, schools and industrial facilities also come through regularly. SEQ's growth corridor — Crestmead, Yatala, Narangba — is generating a lot of new-build warehouse marking at the moment.
Yes, and it's something you need to respect. Brisbane summers mean pavement temps of 50 to 60 degrees and UV index up to 15 (Extreme). Standard thermoplastic can soften on hot days. We specify Grade A thermoplastic (softening point 120 degrees or higher) for all external marking. Most experienced Brisbane contractors schedule external work in the morning to beat afternoon storms from October through April. We'll walk you through material specs during onboarding.
Yes. LMA generates leads across all of SEQ and beyond. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Toowoomba all come through regularly. If you're based outside Brisbane metro, that's a conversation worth having. We match leads to contractors by location. The less travel you do, the more efficient your day.
That depends on your current employment agreement. Some have restraints of trade or exclusivity clauses. That's your situation to check, not ours. LMA contractors are independent, so how you structure your other commitments is your business. Once you're in the network, the expectation is that you're responsive and available for the leads we send your way.
When a lead comes in for your area, we contact you same day or next morning. Brisbane has a healthy flow of enquiries, particularly from the warehouse and logistics sector. Speed matters: the facility manager who emails three contractors at 8am usually goes with whoever responds first with a credible quote. We'll equip you with our quoting approach during onboarding so you can turn these around fast.
