A Trusted Company Est. 1993

BlueprintCPD is a registered business of Meridian Project Consulting ("MPC"). The Company (MPC) has provided projects and other consulting services to private and government bodies since 1993. Primarily, in the field of residential construction and property development.

As a licenced builder myself, when finding out I had to do CPD Points to maintain my licence I quickly came to realise that there was not an easy, convenient and cost-effective way to earn CPD points, without having to take time off work &/or attend costly seminars. To which the idea came to me of providing a CPD service for NSW builders that was easy to access and with a seamless online platform. To which BlueprintCPD was born.

Building Checklist

In 1996, MPC published the Building Checklist, a book primarily produced to promote transparency between stakeholders in the residential building process.

Owner Builder Certificates

In 2005, MPC was certified by the NSW State Government Office of Fair Trading to run online Owner Builder Courses for NSW residents.

Are There Exceptions To CPD?

Yes, the Commissioner's Guidelines allow exemptions in extenuating circumstances. Each case is assessed on its own merits. The circumstances for granting exemptions are limited and in most cases relate to serious illness or misadventure. To find out more, please contact the Office of Fair Trading.

What Records Should I Keep?

You must keep a diary / record of your CPD activities, along with evidence whenever possible, such as a certificate, academic or attendance record or a receipt if you purchase or hire learning resources. With BlueprintCPD you can login at any time and download or email for yourself a “Certificate of Completion”.

How Will Fair Trading Know That I Have Completed My CPD Points?

The application for Builders License renewal is in part (if not all) a Statutory Declaration. The renewal application asks whether a builder has undertaken and accumulated their required CPD Points. And by proceeds to lodge the renewal, the builder in essence is warranting in the Statutory Declaration that they have in fact done so. Fair Trading may carry out random audits or spot checks.

Does Fair Trading Keep A Register with Information About My CPD Points?

No, it is the builder’s responsibility to keep their own records of CPD activity.

What Is the Actual Date I Must Have All My CPD Completed By?

The builder is to have completed their CPD requirements by the time they renew their builder’s licence.

Will My Licence Be Renewed Even If I Haven't Earned All My Points?

The Home Building Act states that CPD must be completed before an application for renewal or restoration of a licence or certificate can be accepted. If you do not comply with the CPD requirements Fair Trading may reject your application until you have completed the points. Builders will need to provide Fair Trading with reasons setting out why they have not met the CPD requirements. If there are special or extenuating circumstances, a builder can make inquiries with the Office of Fair Trading and may be granted an exemption.

What Action Will Fair Trading Take Against A Builder Who Misrepresents CPD Points on Their Renewal

Fair Trading may cancel a licence or certificate. In certain circumstances disciplinary action can also be taken. It is a criminal offence under the Crimes Act 1900 to deliberately make a false or misleading statement on your application for renewal or restoration of your licence or certificate.
