MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Kia ora everyone and welcome to
the first BC News for 2014.
RUMA KARAITIANA
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
We have started this year as a very different
organisation by merging with the Joinery
ITO along with DecorateNZ and FloorNZ.
This means we have a new audience
of employers, apprentices and other
stakeholders reading the BC News for the
first time – welcome to you all.
You are part of a long held ambition
which now brings most of the construction
trades into the coverage of the one ITO. All three merging ITOs are
changing in this process with an objective of improving our services
to you, as well as delivering great educational outcomes.
The merger has brought together great trades and great people;
you will see this edition features a joiner, a decorator and a
flooring contractor.
An important part of the next stage will be to conduct a
comprehensive review of the specialist trades which we are in the
process of getting underway. This review will look at each individual
trade and consider whether, in this new environment, we can
enhance our service and educational outcomes.
We have adopted the theme “Together as One” and unsurprisingly,
that is also the theme of this BC News.
2014 is shaping up to be a different year for the industry generally.
The news media is constantly running stories about the expected
high demand of the Christchurch rebuild, housing shortages in
Auckland and a general lift in activity across the country. This is
not just media hype. Hard data and research support the view that
our industry is steadily moving into a significant and sustained
boom period.
For the BCITO, this means our numbers are rapidly increasing. We
now need to manage growth to carry out our role of delivering high
quality, trained and qualified people into the construction industry.
However, this forward demand is so great that we know we will not
be able to do enough to meet it.
To maximise our delivery we need to work efficiently and effectively,
as well as consider new digital opportunities such as e-learning.
Along with the rest of the industry we are enjoying these positive,
exciting times after a tough few years.
GOODBYE AND BON VOYAGE
After nearly 15 years as an integral member of the BCITO team, BCITO
Group Manager, Paul Mitchell is leaving to pursue his love of yachts,
the Mediterranean and perpetual summer.
Since completing his own apprenticeship, Paul has worked as a
builder, a BCITO Training Advisor, a Regional Manager, a Training
Manager and, for the last 5 years, has been a key part of our
Executive Leadership team as Group Manager of Support Services.
When looking back over Paul’s career highlights at the BCITO,
where do you start? He was our first Training and Development
Manager, and then our first Human Resources Manager.
Upon completing his Master of Business Administration, he became
the first Training Advisor to progress through the organisation to
Group Manager, where he implemented our business planning
processes, introduced accurate forecasting and built a dedicated
team of professionals, as passionate as he is about our industry.
He also has more Hawaiian shirts than anyone else at the BCITO,
and puts on an amazing Christmas ham!
All in all, Paul’s contributions to the BCITO and the building
industry have been considerable and long reaching. His story
really emphasises the career opportunities available in the
construction sector.
We are delighted that, after so much professional success, Paul has
finally been able to realise his personal dream as he quite literally,
sails off into the sunset.
We are pleased to announce that, from April 2014, Paul’s
position will be filled by Bruce Horsley, currently General
Manager of Apprentice Training.

industry partners; Flooring, Decorating and Joinery.
Meet Painter,
Mauricio
Giancaspero
Name: Mauricio Giancaspero
Age: 36
From: Chile – working in Christchurch
Years in Apprenticeship: 1
Working towards: National Certificate in
Painting & Decorating (Level 4, endorsed
in Spray Techniques and Wall Coverings)
Employer: Dyck Decorators Ltd
Training Advisor: Verina Jones
“I’ve been working in New Zealand for
nearly four years. I moved from my home
in Chile, in the middle of 2010, for a better
lifestyle and for more career opportunities.
“Before I came to New Zealand, I didn’t
know much about painting and decorating.
In Chile I’d studied business management
and for the last year or so I’d been a selfemployed massage therapist and worked
part-time as a life guard.
“When I first arrived in Auckland, my
English wasn’t great so I could only really
work for Latin speaking employers. One
of the jobs I got was with a painter and
decorator. I really enjoyed working in the
painting trade and the sense of satisfaction
I got, looking at a finished job. That’s how I
got started in painting.
“To continue to live and work in New
Zealand, I needed to extend my work visa.
The skills shortage in Christchurch and the
demand for tradespeople in my field meant
that I could do that. I moved to Christchurch
at the beginning of 2012 and started
working for my current employers.
“Doing this job, especially in Christchurch,
is about making people happy. As a
painter, you feel like an artist, making the
environment more beautiful.
“In Christchurch there are people who
suffered, who are still suffering, the loss and
damage caused by the earthquakes. People
want you to beautify their homes, make the
city look new again, improve the landscape
of their neighbourhood, make it clean and
give them a fresh start.
“Since starting my apprenticeship I’ve
learned a lot. I understand more about
health and safety, the environmental
impact of what I do and about the different
techniques and skills that I will need as a
qualified painter.
“I think in painting, the hardest thing to
learn is to ‘cut in’ properly; to turn the brush
on its edge to get the best result. Attention
to detail and good preparation are the key
things in my job.
“You also need to listen, to watch and learn
and then try to apply what you have learned
in your daily practice – and you need to
study.
“My employers are great to work for. They’re
really good with health and safety and they
make me feel like part of the team. They
really care about the people who work here.
“The most important thing a boss can do
is to share his or her skills. They need to be
patient and to take their time to teach the
right techniques and watch their employees
to make sure they have understood. Keeping
an eye on your apprentice’s work, techniques
and progress means that you can be sure
that they are doing the right thing, every
time.
“Doing an apprenticeship and earning
while you are getting a qualification is
great, especially when you’re an immigrant.
Normally when you’re a full time student,
you have no time to work – so you have no
money. Getting paid to learn and to improve
yourself is fantastic.
“Only God can say where I will be in ten
years time but once I’m qualified, I’ll be
proud to be a professional man and to give
back to this country.”

The painting and decorating
industry is made up of

Meet Flooring
Installer, Grant
Bannister
Name: Grant Bannister
Age: 22
From: Pukekohe
Years in Apprenticeship: Newly
Qualified (started 2010)
Just completed: National Certificate in
Flooring (Level 4, in Resilient Flooring
Installation, Carpet Installation and
Substrate Preparation)
Employer: JBS Flooring Xtra, Pukekohe
Training Advisor: Lance Croawell
“I left school – at the end of year 12 with
Level 2 NCEA and a qualification in Computer
Assisted Design from MIT.
“I went straight into a job at an auto
electrical business which I had thought would
be a long-term position. Working on cars is
one of my hobbies and while I learned some
great skills, as a career, it wasn’t a good fit.
I stayed there for about six months and it
helped me to realise that what I wanted in
a job was something more people focussed
with more variety.
“When I left that job I went to work for
my dad. He’s been in the flooring trade for
around 35 years and I’d worked with him
before when he’d needed an extra set of
hands on weekends and in school holidays.
I realised that I enjoyed the work and in
November last year, after nearly 4 years, I
qualified as a flooring installer – specialising
in carpet, vinyl and cork or
vinyl tiles.
“I definitely feel personal satisfaction,
standing back when I’ve finished at a job and
thinking ‘I did that’. Flooring can completely
change the way a house looks and feels.
To take something old, tired and grotty and
make it look amazing; without a doubt,
there’s a huge sense of pride when that
customer’s over the moon. That makes me
happy.
“Our business is a real family affair. My mum
works in the shop and I work alongside
my brother. He hasn’t been on the tools for
as long as I have but he’s quick and he’s a
creative thinker. With my experience and
attention to detail, we make a great team –
we play to our strengths.
8
“This job is very physical and it can be hard
on your body. Some of the rolls of vinyl
weigh 150kg, so even moving them about
can be hard. Laying carpet and tiles is hard
on your body, hard on your knees and back
and the hours can be really long. There’s no
walking off the job at 5pm! Like any job,
the key is to set yourself goals and push
through – stay motivated; know that it’s
going to look great when you’re finished.
“In our industry, attention to detail is critical
– both for the quality of the finish and
for good customer relations and business
practice. When you work on floors, you
know that the customer is going to be
vacuuming regularly, going over every spot,
they’ll see any mistakes you make. You need
to make sure that you don’t make any.
perfectionist. I always think about a job as if
I was the client; like would I accept that?
“The hardest thing to pass on is a sense of
the level of finish you need to achieve to get
customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Good workmanship, good business practice
and a good attitude are the key to success.
“Having a trade means I always have a skill
to fall back on. I know the industry and
even though there are new products and
techniques coming through all the time, I’ve
got the foundations and the qualifications
to see me right.”
FLOORING
The flooring industry is
made up of specialists in:
“My Training Advisor was really supportive,
he checked all my bookwork to make sure I
was on track to meet my targets and that I
could actually do what I said I could do.

been good sharing my skills and knowing
that whatever he learns, he’s learned from
me. I have really high standards and I’m a

Meet Joiner,
Brandon Hatch
Name: Brandon Hatch
Age: 21
From: Pukekohe
Years in Apprenticeship: 3 years
Working towards: National Certificate
in Joinery Craftsperson
Employer: Counties Joinery
Training Advisor: Bob Martin
“This will be my fourth year at Counties – I
love what I do. I learn something new every
day and I get a real sense of achievement
from knowing that a customer is happy
because I’ve done my job well.
“I finished school in 2009 with NCEA Level
2 in horticulture and furniture making.
Initially, I went down the horticulture track
and for the first year after leaving school,
I worked for my dad who’s a nurseryman.
I enjoyed it, but I missed working with
timber; creating something from nothing.
My boss Roy is a family friend. I started
working for him on a three month trial and
things just went from there.
“If you’re a hands-on person and you enjoy
working with timber, this is a great job –
you just need to be prepared to work really
hard. The hardest thing to learn in joinery
is the incredibly high standards of work you
need to produce every time, on every job.
“Everything has to be perfect, down to
the millimetre and you need to be really
meticulous about the finish. You need to
have passion for the job and love what you
do, because if you don’t like what you’ve
produced, then the customer won’t like it
either!
“I mainly work in the factory but every
once in a while I go out on site to help with
installs. When I do work with customers,
I really enjoy seeing the job finished and
seeing my work in place. Seeing the
customer is happy because you’ve achieved
a high standard – that’s when you know
you’ve done a good job.
“There are 4 of us on the floor but I’m the
only apprentice. The days can be really long,
especially if we’re busy but I love being
hands-on – I love the learning side of it. I’m
lucky because I work with people who are
happy to share their knowledge – they’re
always helping me to get better at my job.
I’m lucky that I work with people who don’t
just tell you how to do things, they tell
you why.
“If you really want to improve your skills,
you need to be in a work environment that
gives you the confidence to make mistakes.
Everyone mucks up from time to time but
to get better you need to acknowledge your
mistakes, learn from them and make sure
you don’t repeat them.
“I’m always willing to learn. I think to be
good at your job, you never stop learning.
My boss Roy says he learns something
everyday and even when you are really
skilled at your job, in our industry there are
always new products, new innovations,
something new coming into the market. It’s
important to be open to developments in
design and how things are done.
“Every job I work on is exciting in its own
way, but probably the most exciting so far
was making my first staircase. Even though
it was a challenge doing something I’d
never done before, the ‘learning’ that went
along with the ‘doing’ – that was really
great.
“Driving around with family or mates, I can
point out jobs that I’ve worked on; that’s
pretty amazing – especially knowing that
my work will be around for years to come.
Block Courses and meeting other guys
who are doing their apprenticeships. The
book work can be challenging, that’s never
been my thing, but my Training Advisor has
given me support and makes sure I’m doing
alright.
“In five years time, I hope I’m still working
for Roy. I’ll be qualified and hopefully I’ll
own my own house (with a really good
kitchen). I’d like to do a bit of travelling at
some stage and see what I can learn in the
joinery trade in other countries.
“I know whatever I’m doing in the trade, I’ll
always be learning and I’ll always be striving
for perfection.”
JOINERY
The joinery industry is made
up of trades specialists with
qualifications in:
> Architectural Aluminium Joinery
> Component Machining
> Craftsperson
> Kitchen and Bathroom Design
> Kitchen Manufacture and Installation
> Laminate Fabrication
“Working with the ITO has been really
great. I’ve enjoyed the training and the
