Government commitments to sector transformation

The government is committed to working with industry to grow a skilled, sustainable construction workforce to ensure the sector has the people it needs now and in the future.

The government is creating a more visible pipeline of construction work and is undertaking to make our procurement practices more fair, efficient and predictable.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has work underway to improve the regulatory system so it helps drive the right behaviours in the industry.

The government is working to find ways to use regulation to incentivise parties to better manage risk, and make people responsible for the risks they are best able to manage.

With increasing demands on the industry workforce to build more houses and infrastructure faster, the government is working with industry to improve health and safety performance.

The government is partnering with industry to increase the supply of houses, and to make sure new and renovated homes are built to last.
