How to add an LBP to an application

You can add licensed building practitioners (LBPs) as participants on a draft application or on a consented project. To make it quick and easy to create LBPs, you can search the LBP Register to find a matching record and use this to populate all the basic information for the participant, including license details.

Note:  You can add people to draft applications, to lodged applications that are open for edit (due to the BCA issuing an RFI), or after building consent is issued. You cannot add people to applications that are being assessed or to completed projects.

  1. To add a person:

    1. On an application, select the People & Roles step and select Add other participants to open the Add a participant dialog.

    2. On a project with an issued consent, select the People tab and select Add other participants to open the Add a participant dialog.

  2. On the Roles & access step, set the person's roles and access level and select Contact details.

  3. On the Contact details step, use the Search for a person option to search the LBP Register:

    1. Set the search source to LBP Register, enter three or more characters to the search field and press Enter.

    2. After a short wait, the LBP Register returns a list of matches. Select the required LBP and the system populates the LBP's contact details.

    3. If you have selected the wrong LBP, simply repeat your search and select a different LBP to overwrite the LBP details.

    4. Select License details.

  4. On the License details step, the LBP’s license details are shown.

    Note:  If an LBP’s license class is suspended, the suspension information is shown below the license.

    Optionally, you can add other licenses or qualifications.

  5. To save a new person as a contact for quick re-use on other applications, select Save this person to my Contact library. If the email address is already in use on a contact, you can select to Save changes to my contact.

  6. Select Finish to add the person.
