Questions Does it have to be the same nominee every year?
The nominee does not have to be the same person each year if the other criteria for being a nominee are met. It’s important to note that if the first nominee earned more than 20 CPD points during the licence term, those extra points earned may not be carried over if a new nominee is selected for the next licence term. How does an applicant provide notification of nominee selection? When you complete your new licence application, you must choose your nominee from the list of persons in control of the company. Every year you renew, you will choose who the nominee will be for that licence term. Can you change nominees during the licence period? Sometimes companies must replace the initial nominee with another nominee during the licence term. This change can be made through the Licensed Residential Builders Portal. There is no fee required to change a nominee during the licence term if the new nominee is currently listed on the licence as a person in control of the company. If the new nominee is also a new person in control of the company, you must add this person to the licence, and select them as the new nominee. This can be done by completing a licence amendment through the Licensed Residential Builders Portal, for a $100 application fee. The Amending and Updating Your Residential Builder Licence page on BC Housing’s website has further details on licence changes. How should you plan for a possible change in nominee? To renew a residential builder licence, at least one nominee must earn 20 CPD points. However, we recommend that you identify a second potential nominee to also earn CPD points. This has two benefits: • It expands the knowledge and skill set of the company • If the original nominee leaves the company or is unable to fulfill the CPD requirements, this second person provides back-up. The new nominee would then be required to complete all 20 CPD points. CPD points cannot be split between nominees.
