WHAT IS A LICENSED BUILDING PRACTITIONER?

Licensed building practitioners (LBPs) have undergone a robust application process, including a written application, verbal testing by proficient assessors, and referees’ confirmation of their work. They keep up with the changing industry and undergo continuous skills maintenance.

WHY USE A LICENSED BUILDING PRACTITIONER?

You now need to hire a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) to carry out or supervise work that influences the structural integrity or weather-tightness of your home. The licensing scheme is meant to ensure that major work is done by competent tradespeople who can be held accountable if anything goes wrong.
