Both eboss confidence surveys highlight the frustration with architects and designers with the current process, amongst other things. 

I saw this heading of a recent NBR article, and was interested to understand the timing of the flow-on effect by positive net migration.

eboss today announced results of its nationwide survey to assess how the industry has weathered the economic downturn over the last six months, and the outlook for recovery.

Last weeks NBR article on building concents combined the findings from the recent CTMA World & eboss surveys, which highlighted the frustrations with the current building consent process.

It was pleasing to see some more positive news in the NZ Herald, suggesting an improving property market, based on the findings of the March BNZ confidence survey.

On Friday, we previewed the eboss research summarising the current confidence levels in the building industry. 

We are amazed that there is not more talk about the state of the Non Residential building sector.

February's issue of ebossNOW took just 42 minutes to reach 1,000 visits, and our Building Industry Confidence Survey has had over 520 completed surveys.

January’s Building Consents were released on Friday – 812 residential consents (including 67 apartments) were the lowest on record, and for the first time in a decade were fewer than non-residential.

The results from our October Confidence survey were released last week.
