...to the website that opens the door on the world of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand - or CBANZ as we are becoming widely known.

Based in Tauranga, we are the only nationwide builders' organisation whose members are all trade qualified.

If you're not trade qualified, you can't join - it's as simple as that. If you are, and you decide to join us, you'll immediately start reaping the benefits of distancing yourself from the widespread mediocrity that exists in our industry.

CBANZ was set up in 1998 to meet a growing demand by builders throughout the country for an organisation that would recognise and promote their trade qualifications.

From small beginnings, we have gone from strength to strength, and today we represent a rapidly-growing membership of more than 1700, from Kaitaia to Invercargill.

Most of all, CBANZ members benefit from their professional status which has become widely respected throughout the industry and by the public at large.

Being recognised as a Certified Builder can do nothing but good for your business.

If you are trade qualified, you deserve the recognition. And by far the best way to get it is to become a member of CBANZ!

Consider this, from our Mission Statement: "...members are trade-qualified builders who must adhere to strict guidelines for achieving the highest possible standards in both workmanship and business practices."

That says a lot about you, and the quality of your work.

Not only does your membership of CBANZ give you enhanced professional status, but there are other benefits, too. For instance, we provide a wide range of support services. including such things as contract documentation and support, legal advice, dispute resolution, bulk purchasing of products and services, networking opportunities, financial consulting and insurance services.
