MinterEllisonRuddWatts’ Building Together 2026 again brought together politicians, sector leaders, and key industry participants to explore the opportunities, challenges and risks facing the construction and infrastructure sectors.
This year’s event “From pipeline to delivery” focused on narrowing the gap between ambition and execution. What is coming and how can we make it happen?
We began by looking across the Tasman to Brisbane, a city building a legacy with its approach to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Closer to home, we heard from leaders at the forefront of some of New Zealand’s largest construction and infrastructure projects, including large-scale renewable energy infrastructure. A cross-party conversation provided a political perspective of what effective delivery looks like.
We also canvassed the role of listed property funds in driving the development pipeline, effective delivery models in social infrastructure, and how contractors are navigating current market dynamics. We finished by exploring the influence of current geopolitical disruption in shaping the world to come.
In an uncertain world, our people are key to moving projects “from pipeline to delivery”. Building Together 2026 provided another opportunity for important collaboration as we strive together for sustained construction and infrastructure growth.
