CONTRIBUTION TO TECHNICAL & LEGISLATIVE IMPROVEMENTS AWARD is Sponsored by Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
The Award is given to the individual who has excelled in contributing to advancing the technical and/or legislative understanding of members.
New Zealand Standard 4306:2005 has been the greatest game changer to the Pre-Purchase Property Inspection industry and most importantly to purchasers of residential properties.
Bruce has been involved in the Standard since its inception and continues to advocate for greater adherence to it across the Real Estate and Property Inspection Market.
Since the High Court precedent of Hepburn v Cunningham, the Standard is the benchmark for all pre-purchase inspectors to be assessed against.
Bruce has been an expert witness providing evidence in standard surveying and reporting, keeping NZS4306 to the forefront and ensuring it is relevant in High Court, WHRS Disputes and Tenancy Tribunal hearings.
At trailblazer in driving robust training platforms for BOINZ and developing templates with some 35-40,000 generic menus to assist BOINZ ABS members and others to produce standard compliant surveys, Bruce is the “go-to” recognised and respected subject matter expert in NZS 4306:2005 and its application.
