The Certified Builders Association of New Zealand Inc was established in 1998 to recognise and promote qualified builders. Unless the builder is trade qualified they cannot become a member of the Certified Builders Association.
"To provide New Zealand consumers with the assurance that our members are trade qualified builders who adhere to strict guidelines for standards of workmanship and business practice."
The Origin of the Association
The CBANZ was established in Tauranga in February 1998 by Craig Wilkinson, who gathered a group of builders together who were concerned with the direction in which the building industry was heading. They were worried that their trade was being undermined by those who had entered the industry without qualifications and reputation were subsequently giving the Industry a bad name.
Approximately 70% of all builders in New Zealand who make a living from the trade, are unqualified, or do not meet the criteria, or choose not to belong to a trade association. There was an urgent need to establish an association where trade qualifications were a prerequisite. The formation of our association will lead to the decline of non trade qualified builders operating within the Industry.
