What is the difference between our NZCB Partners?

New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) are proud to partner with many different companies throughout New Zealand. The Association has formed these partnerships so they can then offer a wide range of expertise, knowledge, support and discounts to NZCB members. These partnerships are categorised into four groups; Affinity, Strategic, National and Regional Partners. Below we explain the difference between each partnership.

Affinity Partners Affinity Partners are carefully selected, researched and interviewed before being brought on-board to ensure the products/services offered are worthwhile and beneficial. Affinity Partners offer discounts to NZCB members. More information on the products/services available can be found on the ‘Member Benefits’ page of the members only Toolshed. These partnerships are categorised into four groups; Affinity, Strategic, national and Regional Partners. Below we explain the difference between each partnership.

Strategic Partners is another name for our corporate sponsors. Our Strategic Partners play a vital part in assisting NZCB to cover costs for your personal development/training through the NZCB regional seminars, NZCB Annual Conference or monthly live Zoom Webinars. Their support also assists to cover expenses with our marketing and communications.

The NZCB Strategic Partners are predominantly trade merchants whom you will already have a relationship with. NZCB do not align with any particular trade merchant.

They offer you discounts, as well as providing sponsorship for your local golf days and other social events. We also encourage Regional Partners to get involved with NZCB events, such as attending training workshops.
