Construction innovation showcased

Some of the biggest names in construction will gather at the Auckland Showgrounds this week for the two-day BuildNZ event.

Xpo head of sales (trade) Lorraine Smith says the construction industry is facing a perfect storm of high interest rates, continued inflationary pressures and a cost-of-living crisis. But amidst these everyday struggles, there’s also a critical shortage of skilled workers and a wave of imminent government changes impacting the sector.

“Navigating this storm is no easy feat, but BuildNZ will offer an opportunity to discover how to weather these challenges and seize new opportunities,” she says.

Smith says the event serves as a hub for major deals and partnerships, further solidifying the importance of exhibitions in facilitating strong business relations.

She says there will be knowledge leaders and the latest products from more than 200 local and international suppliers.

“In an increasingly digital world, the importance of face-to-face interaction remains paramount. BuildNZ, as it has done so for over 30 years, provides the ideal space to get hands-on with product advancements and forge invaluable industry connections.”

The speaker series will include an architectural keynote panel session, as well as industry leaders from some of New Zealand’s top construction firms who will offer insights into market challenges and opportunities, anticipated development changes, the role of emerging technologies and key business priorities for the coming year.

Build NZ is being presented in conjunction with Facilities Integrate and The National Safety Show, and will be held over two days, June 25 and 26,
