Maintaining your NZGBC Contact Profile

This article explains how to update and maintain your public NZGBC profile - via your Dashboard on the NZGBC website - with best practice recommendations.

Please allow up to an hour for any changes to take effect.

Contents

Log into your Dashboard on the NZGBC website

Helpcentre | Update your Company Profile

On your Dashboard, select 'Dashboard'

Update your Contact Details

Here you will find editable fields for all of your contact details - scroll down.

Don't forget to click on 'Update details' at the bottom of your screen to save your changes.

Guidance:

    • Use a professional email address
    • Make sure it is actively monitored
    • Avoid generic inboxes unless managed well (e.g. info@ with no response)
    • Address is important. Many clients want to know where your business is physically located.

Update your Photo

Recommended specifications:

    • Format: Square image (1:1 ratio)
    • Minimum size: 600 x 600 px (preferably 800 x 800 px or higher)
    • Maximum file size - 500KB.
    • File type: JPEG or PNG
    • Good lighting and high resolution (not pixelated)
    • Colour

Style guidance:

    • Use a professional headshot (head and shoulders) with some clearance above the head to allow for cropping margins. 
    • Look directly at the camera where possible
    • Wear work-appropriate attire (avoid hard hats, sunglasses etc.)
    • Choose a simple, uncluttered background
    • Neutral office setting, plain wall, or softly blurred background works well
    • Avoid:
      • Cropped group photos
      • Casual/social photos
      • Heavy filters or distracting backgrounds

Note: If you have current qualifications with us, and you have chosen to publish your profile on the 'Find a Professional' page of our website, this is the profile image that will be used.

Update your Description

Recommended length:

    • 80–150 words (short enough to scan, long enough to add credibility)

Structure (suggested):

    • Who you are (role, organisation, experience level)
    • What you do (services, sectors, specialisations)
    • What makes you valuable (approach, results, or differentiation)

Style guidance:

    • Write in first person or neutral professional tone
    • Keep it clear, plain English (avoid jargon where possible)
    • Focus on outcomes and value, not just responsibilities
    • Use short sentences
    • Avoid long lists of qualifications (these can sit elsewhere)

Example:

I am a sustainability consultant specialising in residential and mixed-use developments, with experience delivering Homestar and Green Star projects across Aotearoa. I support design teams and developers to achieve high-performing, low-carbon outcomes through practical, evidence-based advice. My work focuses on early-stage strategy, energy modelling, and certification delivery, helping projects meet both environmental and commercial goals.

Credentials

Relevant NZGBC accreditations should appear automatically on the "Find a professional" page.

Please let us know if these are incorrect. 

Organisation and affiliation

    • Ensure your organisation name is current and correctly spelled
    • If you are independent, clearly indicate this (e.g. “Independent consultant”)
    • Keep naming consistent with your LinkedIn or company website


Regions Serviced

    • Only select the regions you are willing and able to work in, including travelling to.
    • Many clients want to work with someone local.
    • Ensure you can meet customer expectations for any region you select.
