Join New Zealand's most promising industry
Which industry in New Zealand has the greatest room for growth? Which has the biggest shortage of talent? Which offers the highest pay? Everyone will have their own answers, but if you ask us, we would definitely say construction!
High pay! According to job website Trade Me Job, demand for construction workers has pushed average construction pay in Auckland up 21% since June 2016, with the average annual salary reaching $99,000 in 2017.

Great prospects! The latest statistics show that new dwelling consents issued in New Zealand in the first 5 months of 2018 reached a 44-year high for that period. Housing and Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford said strong growth in building consents showed continuing confidence in the construction industry's development. From January to May this year, 13,390 new homes received building consent, the strongest start to a year since 1974.
Plenty of opportunities! To ease recruitment difficulties in construction, the Government recently added 7 construction-related occupations to the Immediate Skill Shortage List (ISSL). To encourage more people into New Zealand's construction industry, choosing construction offers both a fast track to immigration and access to the Fees Free Initiative.
So here is the question:
Is there still time to join the construction industry?
Of course there is!

Asian Construction Forum
The Asian Construction Forum is open to all Chinese builders, developers, property investors, architects, designers and other construction industry professionals.
The Asian Construction Forum is a free event designed to connect New Zealand's Asian construction sector with New Zealand product suppliers. It gives Asian construction professionals the opportunity to discover the latest products and solutions, hear from industry thought leaders, meet leading industry figures and earn CPD and LBP points.
Discussion topics at the Asian Construction Forum include product compliance, the benefits of gaining New Zealand construction qualifications and ways to simplify the approval process. Industry leaders including the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ), the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO), Auckland Council, Barfoot and Thompson and Skills will also discuss market trends and forecasts, factors affecting sale prices, property development matters and how to build a career in construction.
Productspec general manager Ian Watt said: “The Asian Construction Forum is a very important event that brings people in New Zealand's construction industry together. It also provides a platform for the Chinese construction sector to learn about new products, market developments, important regulations and gaining local qualifications.”
