PlaceMakers is here to help

With constant regulatory changes in the building industry, PlaceMakers aims to provide ongoing support to its customers through skills maintenance seminars and Under Construction

“It’s about doing our bit to support Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) by enabling them to earn the necessary skills maintenance points,” says PlaceMakers general manager operations and marketing Gary Woodhouse. “We ensure that PlaceMakers customers can earn all their required elective points through PlaceMakers initiatives, such as reading our monthly Under Construction magazine and attending our seminars.

Next round around the corner
For information on the upcoming PlaceMakers Skills Maintenance seminars, which is scheduled for April to June, please contact your local PlaceMakers store.

Who should attend the skills maintenance seminars?

All LBPs, those who have applied for a licence and PlaceMakers customers are welcome to attend. The session is relevant for all licence classes including brick and block layers, roofers and plasterers.

---

How many LBP points do I earn for attending?

Each seminar is approximately two hours long. Every hour of educational learning is equal to one LBP point, so the seminar is worth two points.

---

What if I haven’t got my licence yet?

If you have applied for your licence, or are thinking about becoming licensed, you are welcome to attend PlaceMakers skills maintenance seminars; however, remember you must be licensed before you can start earning points.

Keeping records of restricted building work – We can help!

We know it’s tough to keep up with all the paperwork required these days, so we’ve produced a triplicate Record of Work book to give you a hand. It has three colour-coded copies of the memorandum forms for your job details – one for the homeowner, one for the council and one for you to keep. Each book holds up to 25 jobs.
