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 also provide technical audits and the supervision and witnessing of Building Official functions that support quality assurance and professional development.
