Housing and building continue to dominate news headlines and political agendas. The issues are well recognised, and the real focus must now be how to address them.
Constructive 2022 will provide the Forum to facilitate the above, and will bring together the wider sector and Government to move beyond words and into practical actions for change.
Day one focuses on the numerous issues faced in residential construction. This includes the boom-bust cycle, supply chain disruption, skilled labour shortages, and declining mental health.
Day two looks at challenges faced in commercial construction. Procurement, risk management, climate change, waste management, supply chain disruption, cost escalation and business failures will be explored.
The Forum will also present the results of the annual State of the Sector survey, which shows what has been achieved in the past 12 months, while raising the issues being experienced.
For the first time, this year covers the supply and demand side of the sector.
This year, Constructive will feature addresses from Minister of Building and Construction Dr Megan Woods, and National Party Leader Christopher Luxon.
