The Construction Landscape in New Zealand

It is now widely accepted that New Zealand is in the midst of the largest construction boom in 40 years.  For anyone working in or providing professional services to the construction sector, it is important to understand the state of the industry, where it is headed and the relevant regulatory responses.
