您是否是注册builder？Are you a registered builder

最近有关registered builder 以及licensed builder到底有什么区别在某些律师之间产生了纠纷。实在没有看出来这种纠纷有什么必要性。不过现在根据最新的售房合同范本，检测资质好像有了更为明确的规定：suitably qualified。希望不要再往certified builder 和 master builder 身上靠了。

根据新西兰相关住宅检测标准NZS4306规定，从业人员须符合以下条件：

1. 检测人员需有适合的包括房屋检测在内的建筑行业相关经验
2. 为相关行业协会会员，或者持有相关学历
3. 可熟练运用房屋检测专用工具

有几点误区需要澄清：

• 国家没有硬性规定，检测人员必须是：master builder, certified builder, registered builder, qualified builder，但必须有足够相关经验
• 国家没有相关针对房屋检测的行业协会，没有所谓的从业资格认证，没有所谓的资质

A bit regarding NZS4306:2005

When buying a house, probably the biggest asset in your life, it is so common to have a builder’s report organised. But how can you make sure the inspector does a good job for you?

The Country has sorted that out a long time ago and produced a related Standard: NZS 4306:2005. As long as the inspector you employed has carried out the inspection in accordance with this standard, you can be sure, you are likely to receive a good report.

But, sorry, this Standard is not publically available. Even worse, as an inspector, I can not give you a copy of that standard, as the copyright belongs to Standards New Zealand.

So, if you really want to proof if I have carried out my inspection based on this Standard, you have to pay $153.90 to buy this Standard and find out yourself.

Unlike New Zealand, the relevant Australian and American standards are all available for free.
