Key skills required for a Builder in New Zealand include strong technical knowledge of construction methods and materials, project management abilities, effective communication skills, and an understanding of sustainable building practices. Familiarity with New Zealand building codes, such as the Building Code Compliance Document and the Earthquake-prone Buildings Amendment Act, is important.
