The compliance landscape is getting more demanding — and the opportunity around IQP work is continuing to grow.
Trade Master has acquired IQP Hub, expanding how we support electrical businesses, IQPs, and contractors to build capability, manage compliance requirements, and unlock new commercial opportunities.
For many businesses, IQP work represents more than compliance. It’s recurring work, long-term client relationships, and a pathway into a high-accountability sector that is becoming increasingly important across New Zealand’s built environment.
Why this matters
Independent Qualified Persons (IQPs) sit at the centre of building compliance under the Building Act 2004. They are responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and certifying specified systems that keep commercial buildings safe and operational — including issuing Form 12A certificates and supporting BWOF compliance obligations.
This work directly impacts:
- Building compliance requirements
- Risk exposure for building owners
- Operational safety and system performance
- The credibility and capability of IQP businesses
Put simply — strengthening capability in this space is no longer optional. It’s critical.
A stronger pathway into IQP work
Whether you’re already operating as an IQP or looking to expand your services into this area, IQP Hub creates a more structured pathway to build capability and support long-term business growth.
Through IQP Hub, businesses can now access:
- Structured training and support to achieve and maintain IQP status
- Practical compliance tools and operational guidance
- Monthly technical clinics focused on real-world IQP challenges
- Support across coordination, administration, and compliance processes
- Ongoing capability development backed by Trade Master
For businesses already delivering IQP services, this is about strengthening capability and reducing operational risk.
For those not yet operating in the IQP space, this presents a clear opportunity to diversify services, build recurring revenue streams, and position your business in a compliance-driven market that continues to grow.
Backed by Trade Master
If you’re already using IQP Hub, it’s business as usual — now backed by expanded capability and support through Trade Master. If you’re not currently involved in the IQP space, now is the time to explore what’s possible.
