Building Competency N.Z.

Competency Assessment, Training & Professional Development

If you are a Building Official, you will be aware of the National BCA Competency Assessment System (NCAS) that ensures Building Officials are assessed every two years for competency. Building Competency N.Z is the preferred supplier of competency assessment to Building Consent Authorities (BCA’s) Accredited Authority for Building (AOB) and independent contractors throughout New Zealand, we currently assess in excess of 300 candidates per year, using our independently developed system.

We have a highly skilled team of assessors and technical experts who can assess candidates against the National Competency Assessment System (NCAS version 2) competency framework. In addition to competency assessments for Building Control Officers, we can provide technical audits and can supervise and witness Building Official functions to support quality assurance and professional development.

Our experienced assessors and technical specialists help Building Officials demonstrate current competency, identify development needs and progress to higher levels of responsibility.
