Description

WEBINAR | CPD 3 | MEMBERS - FREE | NON-MEMBERS $50+GST

Back for 2025, our industry update returns at a time when the construction sector continues to face shifting tides. While residential consents remain subdued, we’re now seeing early signs of stabilisation in interest rates, softening construction costs, and ongoing adjustments following government changes.

Join the Institute’s industry leaders as we take stock of where things stand in 2025. With uncertainty still in the air, this session will focus on what’s changed over the past year, what challenges and opportunities lie ahead, and how different parts of the sector—from commercial and residential to government—are responding.

Hear insights from a cross-section of industry voices as we examine the cyclical nature of construction, learn from the last 12 months, and explore how we can build resilience and plan for what’s next.

It’s still about ‘Surviving 25’—but now, we also ask: what comes after?

Panelists:

John Hemi – Director of Construction Productivity at Te Waihanga | Institute National Board Chair

Craig Hopkins – Chief Executive of Generation Homes | Institute Board Member and Northern Region Committee Chair

Kirsten Magnusson - Strategic Marketing Director at Magnusson & Co | Institute National Board Deputy Chair

Graeme Earl - Director at Naylor Love Canterbury | Institute Board Member and Southern Region Committee member

Jared Glue - Project Director RCP  |  Southern Region Committee member and Dunedin Branch  Chair

Amy Scarfe - Hays will also be joining the session to present insights from the latest Hays Skills Report. She will share valuable data and trends on the current skills landscape in the construction sector, helping attendees understand where the industry is heading and how to prepare for the future.
