External plasterers.

If you are doing external plastering work as part of the construction or alternation of residential buildings, that work may be classified as “Restricted Building Work” (RBW). You must be a Licensed Building Practitioner in the External Plastering class to do or supervise this type of work.

A lot of residential building work will include External Plastering RBW, but if the work does not require a building consent then it is not classified as restricted.

See the guidance on What Restricted Building Work means for Brick and External Plasterers.
