NZMTRB Registration

As from March 2012 the requirements of the Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP) Scheme will apply to all Brick and Blockwork requiring Local Government consent. Unless you are licensed you will have to work under the supervision of someone who is a qualified LBP.

The NZMTRB was established in 1975 to promote, encourage and improve standards of masonry construction and promote education and training for masons, and since 2003 this role has extended to bricklaying.  As the Department of Building and Housing (DBH) Licensing scheme will essentially be carrying on what the Board set out to do all those years ago, the Board believes it is now in the best interests of individuals to go through the process of getting licensed with the DBH and they have therefore withdrawn the NZMTRB Bricklaying and Blocklaying Application Forms from circulation.

Any individual who has started the NZMTRB registration process, can still have their registration considered by the Board as long as they send in their application by 1 November 2010.  (NZMTRB registration currently provides some concessions for the DBH licensing process when completed the DBH’s general Brick and Blocklaying Application Form).

For further information on NZMTRB registration, contact Angelique at the NZMTRB on 0-4-499-8820.
