Description

There's cautious optimism in the construction sector and hopes the economy will improve.  

The Master Builders State of the Sector Report cites remaining demand issues like consumer confidence.  

The report finds 66% of people describe their recent build as a positive and a similar number of people report no significant delays. 

CEO Ankit Sharma told Mike Hosking regions are leading the way while urban centres like Auckland and Wellington are still facing headwinds, but there’s a strong pipeline. 

He says they’re transitioning from survival mode into a place of, hopefully, sustainable recovery.
