Kia ora, how can we help you today?

LBPs are building practitioners who have been assessed as competent to carry out building work essential to the structure or weathertightness of residential buildings.

Skills maintenance

If you’re a LBP, skills maintenance helps you grow your skills and knowledge and keep up with important changes in your industry.

Why get licensed?

Getting licensed recognises your competency, and builds trust for your customers.

A code of ethics for LBPs

From 25 October 2022, all Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) must comply with a code of ethics. This will ensure high standards are maintained in the industry, while giving the public more confidence that LBPs are reputable and operate ethically.
