It’s a conflicting time for the civil contracting sector.
The Government has been touting a ‘turning point’ for the industry at this week’s conference, promising $6 billion worth of infrastructure projects underway before Christmas.
However, the latest industry survey results tell a different story, with 73% of respondents saying the lack of work is the most pressing issue.
Civil Contractors NZ Chief Executive Allan Pollard told Mike Hosking the $6 billion in infrastructure work isn’t entirely civil work, and they need a lot more work to feed the industry.
