WHAT’S YOUR
SOLUTION TO THE
CONSTRUCTION
‘CRISIS’?
If you’ve been living under a rock
then you would have heard little
on the construction crisis that has
hit mainstream media, followed
by a barrage of negative attention
after Ebert Construction went into
liquidation.
The Government has stepped in and
Infrastructure Minister Hon Shane
Jones has been set the task of
steering the ship in the right direction
(see News on page 10).
The cause of all this commotion has
been varied in response, with fingers
pointed at a depleted workforce,
job quotes too close to the line
in desperate attempts to secure
contracts and a host more.
But we at NZ Engineering News
would like to know what you think
has been the problem(s) and what
you think might be the solution(s)
too.
Kenny Ingram has his say on the
right-hand page. Any great letters
on this subject will also get column
inches inside this publication, so
send them in and outline the issues
at hand.
Don’t hold back… it’s opinion so feel
free to call it like you think it is.

"Most companies in the construction
and engineering industry have a
complex business system landscape
often comprising over 100 different
systems…. The goal should be to
replace many of these systems with
an integrated business system. The
solution should be able to support
traditional ways of working and then
transition to more modern digital
methods such as building information
modelling (BIM) in a controlled way
over time." KENNY INGRAM
