WELCOME TO THE
ASSOCIATION OF WALL
& CEILING INDUSTRIES NZ
AWCI NZ is a trade association which represents the interests of building professionals and organisations operating in the wall and ceiling industries.
Our members include contractors, tradespeople, manufacturers and suppliers in the drywall, fibrous plaster, proprietary partitions, tiling, suspended ceilings and fibre-cement linings industries within New Zealand. We count some of the country’s largest and most influential construction organisations as members.
AWCI was established to represent the interests of members and their customers for interior wall and ceiling lining systems and related products.
The Association was formed in 1992 as the Interior Systems Association incorporating existing trade groups of suspended ceilings, plasterboard and fibrous plaster. The name of the association was changed in November 2005.
The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries of New Zealand Inc. is the New Zealand representative of the Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries of Australia and New Zealand.
In May 2002 the Association introduced new membership classes to provide for registration of trade qualified and suitably experienced trade businessmen operating in interiors.
- AWCI Certified Business Members either employ trade qualified staff or possess the trade skills to perform and adhere to strict guidelines for achieving acceptable standards in both workmanship and business practices.
- Providing a subsidised process for non-qualified, yet experienced tradespeople to attain their qualifications through skills recognition
