On site with Certified Builders President Jason McClintock

The Certified Builders Association of New Zealand Inc is only open to builders who meet the most stringent of membership criteria.

Certified Builders is literally ‘a community of craftsmen' who pride themselves on the standards of excellence and professionalism they deliver.

Established in 1998, Certified Builders was the result of concern among trade qualified, experienced builders that there was no organisation in New Zealand adequately promoting excellence in building standards and protecting customers from unqualified and unethical traders.

The best guarantee in the business

Only a Certified Builder can offer you the Homefirst 10 Year Builders Guarantee. This guarantee is the only one of its kind in New Zealand because it is independent. That means if something happens to your builder, or even the association itself, the guarantee still stands. And it moves with your property. So if you sell inside the 10 year time period, the guarantee goes along too adding the potential of extra return on your investment.

Complete peace of mind

Where the Certified Builder is the head contractor, the guarantee covers materials and work completed by the Certified Builder and the sub-contractors engaged by him. It also provides covers for loss of deposit, non-completion of the dwelling, structural defects for 10 years, non-structural defects for two years and also alternative accommodation requirements.
