The Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) has today formally signed the application to establish the New Zealand Chapter. With the Association increasing its membership year on year through international development, CABE’s fully functional New Zealand Chapter is testament to the growing role the association has with building engineering across the globe.

The application was signed by President David Taylor and CEO Dr Gavin Dunn and builds on the hard work being done by the New Zealand committee led by Chapter Chairman Kevin Emsley and Secretary Patrick Jarvis.

Commenting on the formalisation, Gavin Dunn of the CABE said; “With New Zealand undergoing a construction boom, there is no better time for an internationally recognised professional body such as the CABE to work with industry partners in the establishment of a chapter covering this thriving country.”

“The CABE looks forward to playing a larger role within building engineering in New Zealand,” added Gavin Dunn.

Association Chapters deliver services at a local level and provide a networking hub for members to share knowledge and expertise.  Establishment of the New Zealand Chapter has provided opportunity for members in New Zealand to participate in local activities. It is hoped that the formation of the Chapter will encourage membership growth and recognition of the Chartered Association of Building Engineers and raise the profile of the Building Engineering profession.
