Nearly three-quarters of builders think the industry is in for another tough financial year, according to new data.
650 Kiwi builders were consulted in a new EBoss survey, with 67 percent of respondents reporting less projects and 70 percent claiming industry conditions will only get worse in the coming months.
Matt Duder from EBoss says builders operate on tough margins, so steady work is important to them.
