NZCB Building Trade Professionals Workshop – Exempt Building work

Exempt Building work

PROUDLY SPONSORED BY

On 31 August 2020 the list of building work which can be undertaken without a building consent was expanded. Licensed Building Practitioners [LBP] have been recognised within these exemptions and can now take on design and construction under their own set of parameters. The LBP exemptions expand past work which homeowners can undertake themselves.

The work was announced as being great for DIYers, however the laws which sit around these exemptions are complex. As a result, we expect most homeowners will approach LBP’s to navigate them through this and rely on their professional advice and for the work to be done right the first time.

The level of accountability for LBP’s has not diminished, even though there will be nil council involvement. To assist LBP’s work through this, New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) have consulted with the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employments (MBIE) Principal Advisor Regulatory Performance, Paul Hobbs and Senior Structural Engineer Building Performance, Reza E Sedgh to clarify the new exemptions and areas where LBP’s will need to be informed.

During October and November, NZCB will be taking this message to ten venues throughout New Zealand, presenting the new exemptions and the traps LBP’s can fall into. We will also explain how to undertake exempt work so that the test of building to Code is met and evidence of doing so is established, should the builder find themselves accountable to the Building Practitioners Board, Council or MBIE.

“For the well informed this work can be quite lucrative, for the ill-informed however, the accountability is going to be costly.” – NZCB Group Technical Manager, Jason McClintock
