Assessment System
If you are a Building Official, you will be aware of the National BCA Competency Assessment System (NCAS) that ensures Building Officials are assessed annually for competency.
Building Competency NZ 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 available to assess candidates for their competency under the NCAS framework, additional to Competency Assessments we also perform technical audits, supervise and witness Building Officials functions.
Our team have developed an integrated software solution and system to manage and automate many functions of the NCAS, the system defines standardised evidence requirements for each complexity of assessment, automated reminder system, reporting mechanisms for each organisation, training needs identification and training solutions.

Framework:
Assess technical building control staff
The national competency assessment system is a framework used by building consent authorities (BCAs) and Accredited Authority for Building (AOBs) to assess their technical building control staff.
Performance indicators and specifications
The framework consists of a national set of performance indicators and specifications that define what competency is in the building control context.
Create evaluation criteria
The system was developed by a Sector Advisory Group set up to create evaluation criteria, consider framework documents and make recommendations to us.
Human competency levels
The national system doesn’t focus primarily on building types or categories but on the human competency levels required to undertake building assessment work.
