Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ) chief executive Pieter Burghout will act as Construction Industry Council chairman for three to six months while a review of the council’s role and structure is completed and a new chairman can be elected.
Mr Burghout has previously been chief executive of the Registered Master Builders Federation and the Building & Construction Industry Training Organisation.
The Construction Industry Council is a forum for the building and construction sector to work on sector-wide issues and promote its interests to Government.
Previous chairman Richard Michael stepped down in April.
