Who are “New Zealand Certified Builders”?
New Zealand Certified Builders is a membership organisation set up by a group of trade qualified builders in 1998. These builders, led by Tauranga’s Craig Wilkinson, wanted to create a group that would protect homeowners from unqualified builders and unethical practices and promote excellence in building standards.
An industry leader, NZCB has an extensive membership of builders throughout New Zealand proudly carrying the NZCB stamp of approval. Each builder is trade qualified with a strong history of stability and success.
NZCB builders are passionate about providing superior workmanship. A NZCB must hold a recognised trade qualification equivalent to or better than National Trade Certificate in Carpentry Level 4.
What Is a Halo 10 Year Residential Gaurantee?
As a member of NZCB Association and every build automatically comes with a Halo 10 year Residential Guarantee which protects you after the building process, and for the next 10-Years. It provides much greater protection than both the Building Act and Consumer Guarantees Act.
What is a Licensed Building Practitioner?
LBPs are building practitioners who have been assessed as competent to carry out building work essential to the structure or weathertightness of residential buildings. The LBP code of ethics ensures high standards are maintained in the industry, while giving the public more confidence that LBPs are reputable and operate ethically.
The code of ethics aligned the LBP scheme with international best practice. It also provides clear grounds for the Building Practitioners Board to take disciplinary action against LBPs who behave unprofessionally. The Board is able to issue fines or cancel licences where necessary
Homeowners can have greater confidence that when they choose an LBP to undertake building work, they are doing so in a safe, legal, and professional way, and that LBPs will take responsibility for their work.
Be assured that Craig Diffey Builder Limited also subscribes to health and safety principles of Hazzard Co NZ.
