This month Gareth Kiernan takes a look at the difficulties facing the non-residential construction industry, especially in the wake of Ebert Construction’s collapse.

We then take a look at what the future holds; Gareth examines the impact of future automation on our workforce and Shaun Twaddle highlights the “Got a Trade? Got it Made!” week, proudly sponsored by Infometrics.

Brad Olsen considers New Zealand’s vulnerability to Trump’s foreign policy, and rounds out with our regular “Chart of the Month”, where he looks at infrastructure spending in New Zealand.
