Licenced Building Practitioners (LBP Scheme)

The LBP scheme was launched in November 2007 following an amendment to the Building Act 2004. Its purpose is to encourage competent building practitioners to build homes right the first time. The scheme also gives consumers the necessary information to make informed decisions about the competence of building practitioners they may engage.

The LBP scheme is structured into seven licensing classes, each based on a specific role or occupation that is crucial to a building's performance.
