Heads up on a builder purporting to be a Licensed Building Practitioner. Blair Cole of Akoranga Constrcution, Albany, has just been convicted http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11792571. Always check your LBP is registered: http://lbp.ewr.govt.nz/publicregister/search.aspx

Hi Mark The LBP site says some practices/persons who are not on the LBP register may be on the other public registers such as NZ Architects, IPENZ, Plumbers/Gas fitters, etc. If an engineer builder is registered, say, on IPENZ and not coming up on the LBP site you mention, is that ok? Many thanks
