Want to learn more about You and Restricted Building Work (RBW)?

Come and join us at a RBW training seminar!

Proudly hosted by the Brick and Block Federation of New Zealand (BBFNZ); Certified Builders Association New Zealand (CBANZ); Roofing Association New Zealand (RANZ); PlaceMakers and the Department of Building and Housing

Attendance at these sessions will also mean 4 skill maintenance points for all existing LBPs.

These sessions will ensure that you:

  • Can identify what building work is RBW
  • Understand the changes coming to the building consenting process and the responsibilities of the LBP with these changes
  • Understand what is required when completing the memorandum
  • Have the opportunity to ask questions
  • Find out where you can find more information
