Master Builders Elevate: Building a Better Business

In this Chief's Chat episode, Ryan and David discuss insights from the Master Builders Constructive Forum, which took place in late August. They also examine the results of the 2022 Master Builders State of the Sector survey, which was released at Constructive.

Show Notes

For the first time, the survey explored both the supply and demand sides of construction. Over 1,200 sector participants and homeowners who had built or completed a significant renovation in the past three years responded to questions about their experience building, the economy, critical issues they were facing, and their outlook for the sector. It found while the sector continues to face significant challenges, there are encouraging signs of underlying resilience in the sector.
 
Ryan and David also discussed the highlights of the Constructive Forum, where builders, industry leaders, regulators, and other stakeholders talked about lessons from the past, alongside strategies for the present. David said it was particularly interesting to hear from Minister of Building and Construction, Dr Megan Woods, and Leader of the Opposition, Christopher Luxon, who gave keynote addresses outlining their thoughts on the sector.
