Accreditation of Practitioners
Under the Building Act 2000 any practitioner that wishes to undertake building work and the value of such work exceeds $5000.00 including labour and material, are required to be accredited by the Director of Building Control.
Accreditation is for the following practitioners:
- Designers (architects, building designers
- Engineers, civil designers and building services designers)
- Building surveyors who are responsible for assessment and inspection of buildings
- Builders who carry out, or manage the building work.
Accreditation under the Building Act 2000 is not occupational licensing and does not provide for the accreditation of:
- Tradespeople
- Subcontractors
- Employees
- Apprentices
- or Others working for building practitioners.
It is the person who has the contract with the owner who needs to be accredited.
