STEEL ICONS 🌉 We can get a bit excited about reinforcing steel… whether it is a new development down the road that we’re working on, or looking to iconic structures around the world! It’s fascinating to understand the design and processes in keeping reinforcing bar safe from environmental factors. Structures like the Sydney Opera House and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge have been designed to be incredibly resilient to saltwater corrosion, much like the infrastructure around New Zealand’s coastlines.

New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Association (NZCBIA) President Frank Xu emphasises the need for better workforce planning and training to ensure industry stability. This New Zealand Building Construction Sector Report highlights the crucial role of the sector in driving the country's economic recovery. However, a shortage of skilled workers and high job turnover are pressing issues. This $99 billion industry supports 576,000 jobs in New Zealand, but workforce challenges involve: • Nearly 40% of the workforce had less than a year of experience in 2022. • Over 90% of new entrants in 2023 came from outside the sector. Brilliance Steel is proud to be a key partner of this independent report, helping to better understand the challenges and performance of the construction sector. Read the full report through the link below.
Workers needed for construction-led recovery!💪The NZ Building and Construction sector is set to lead New Zealand’s economic recovery, if it can fix issues with a shortage of skilled workers and high job turnover across the industry, according to a new report. Commissioned by the New Zealand Chinese Building Industry Association, the report reveals that in 2022, almost 40% of the workforce had less than a year of experience in the industry. Additionally, in 2023, it shows that over 90% of new entrants came from outside the sector. NZCBIA President Frank Xu says while the economic outlook for the industry is positive, the findings show there is work to be done. “Building and construction is a $99 billion industry which supports 576,000 jobs across New Zealand. The pipeline for new construction projects needs to be better planned to ensure the stability of the industry and the new Government needs to continue with clearing regulatory hurdles for getting projects underway. “This report shows that we have issues with our construction industry workforce that we must address to strengthen the sector. Biggest are the issues of employee churn and our need to train more skilled people,” says Xu. The report, authored by economist Shamubeel Eaqub, also identifies issues with poor public perception of the construction industry, which is attributed to long-standing productivity issues in the sector. Xu says the same problem of stalled productivity in the construction industry is apparent across the OECD. ”We’ve had 30 years of stalled progress, but this is not unique to New Zealand with many comparable countries facing similar productivity challenges. We’re in the middle of the OECD pack, but the report points to how we can do better,” he says. To address issues with productivity and skilled worker shortages, the report calls for New Zealand firms to ramp up frontline training and micro-training to build workforce skills and retain people and knowledge in the industry. TK Yong of Auckland’s Livefirm Construction (N.I.) Construction shares the success of their dedicated training programs: “We’ve invested in upskilling our carpenters for many years, resulting in significant improvements in employee retention and productivity. The return on investment is substantial—our workers gain valuable skills, experience income progression, and are more likely to stay with us longer. Industry-wide, enhanced training systems and resources are key to reducing turnover and boosting the speed, quality, and productivity of our workforce.” NZ’s Building and Construction Industry, by the numbers: 🔅 $99.4b total annual sales of goods and services throughout the sector 📍 306,000 people directly employed in the industry 💡 576,000 jobs supported by the industry 💠 $70b spent annually on New Zealand building and construction suppliers 💰 $17.5b spent annually on wages Report：https://lnkd.in/gqRZp-rv

Did you know that Steel is 100% recyclable and is the most recycled material in the world? Even around 90% of the water used in steel manufacturing is cooled, cleaned and recycled. The main loss of water is due to evaporation. Sustainability is our core philosophy at Brilliance Steel and we are increasing our focus on sustainability to minimise our environmental impact and meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly construction materials.
