The Construction Sector Accord is a shared commitment between government and the industry to transform the sector. Ministry of Housing and Urban Development CE Andrew Crisp encourages everyone in the industry to get involved. #Constructive2022

According to Mates in Construction, we lose one person in our sector to suicide every week. With the sector facing a raft of challenges, it’s more important than ever to take care of each over. #Constructive2022

We need a strategic, rather than tactical, approach to housing and infrastructure in New Zealand says @Chris_Luxon. #Constructive2022

@MasterBuilderNZ #constructive2022 Another great day ahead. Networking has been amazing too. Great to see there is not as much doom and gloom as being made out in the press.

Our annual State of the Sector survey reveals that while the building and construction sector continues to face significant challenges, there are encouraging signs of underlying resilience in the sector. #Constructive2022

The @NZComCom draft report into residential building supplies offered a range of good recommendations. But we want faster and more deliberate action. A centralised mechanism for consenting would driver better consistency and responsiveness across building consent authorities.

The Government is encouraging more high density housing. But there is little instruction for the building sector on how to make this massive shift. Luckily Guy Marriage of the Wellington School of Architecture and Matt Duder of EBOSS have developed a new guide: Medium.

We want to build warmer, dryer and healthier homes. But the sector is faced with a myriad of challenges - supply chain disruption, skilled labour shortages, and consenting delays. We need time to tackle these problems and better deliver for New Zealand. #Constructive2022

The construction industry produces around 50% of all waste in New Zealand. With the country running out of landfill space, it’s more important than ever to minimise offcuts, reduce packaging and recycle whenever possible. #Constructive2022

Offsite construction at scale reduces cost, time and risk. It’s time we start viewing it as a mainstream building practice, rather than a niche solution. #Constructive2022

It is great to hear Minister @Megan_Woods mention that Kāinga Ora is moving towards long term, rather that transactional, relationships with builders #Constructive2022

Lessons from the past, strategies for the future - Constructive 2022 kicks off to address the challenges facing the building and construction sector #constructive2022

"More private-public partnership needs to happen to build more houses. We know it works." @FranWilde1 at #Constructive2021

@oliverhartwich shares his thoughts on NZ's housing crisis at today's #Constructive2021. "Housing and local government finance reforms need to start now. Demographic change has started and our housing needs will be driven by this change."

We are live with #Constructive2021 Day 2. David Kelly starts with morning posing the question - should we be viewing housing as critical infrastructure? Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day

Don't be afraid to hire people who are different to yourself and be open-minded. Build relationships with your local schools (teachers and parents), work together in your communities, and use the resources that are out there help. #Constructive2021
