BUILDING CONNECTIONS, BUILDING BETTER TOGETHER

A chance to come together as a sector to network, collaborate and generate ideas – because together, we build better. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Constructive 2024. It was a great two days of conversation and connections across the sector. We are happy to announce that Constructive 2025 will be taking place on the 11 and 12 September, at Aotea Events Centre, Auckland.

Looking back at Constructive 2024...

The programme was a deep dive into several issues for our industry including our country’s housing and infrastructure deficit - affordability was a hot topic. We explored whether new models of financing can play a part in unlocking infrastructure to allow more affordable housing and how do we strip away some of the red tape holding us back.  And where to next with social housing if delivery of this is moved away from government – what does this mean for our sector?

The resilience of our cities – where, what, and how to build was also a major area of focus – we looked at the growing need for resilient, sustainable urban development.  

We also discussed how integrating cutting-edge technology and innovations can improve efficiency, safety, and profitability and push boundaries in residential and commercial construction. Our first ever Innovation Showcase brought this to life.

Our international keynote speaker and trend forecaster, Michael McQueen, explored the key technological trends set to shape the coming years for the construction sector with a specific focus on generative AI and its transformational potential for building design and functionality. He also touched on how consumer and societal expectations around sustainability have redefined the competitive landscape and how to meaningfully engage next-generation customers, apprentices. and employees.

In addition to being able to network with the best and brightest in building and construction, this year’s Constructive gave attendees a range of practical tools, and best practice guides to help you take action, and create positive change in their business. 

It's time to drive the conversation, get practical and build the future.
