This morning, Master Builders members from across the commercial and residential building sector came together at Eden Park for our Constructive Post-Budget Breakfast.
It was great to see CEOs, senior executives and industry leaders from across the building and construction sector come together in such strong numbers. The breakfast provided an important opportunity for members to engage directly with the Minister of Finance, Hon Nicola Willis, and the Minister for Building and Construction, Hon Chris Penk, and discuss what the Budget means for our industry.
Budget 2026 sends some positive signals for building and construction, particularly around infrastructure, housing, schools, hospitals and trades training. But for builders, the real test is what happens next.
Confidence is built when commitments turn into clear pipelines, fair procurement, realistic timeframes and work on the ground.
Thank you to our members and sector leaders who joined us this morning and contributed to such a valuable discussion.
Great to see the conversation featured on TVNZ’s 1News this evening.

👏 Huge congratulations to Symphony Construction Limited , winners of the National Renovation up to $500,000 category at the 2025 House of the Year Awards, for their beautiful Matangi build.
Once tired and dated, this home has been transformed into a space full of warmth, personality and heart. Special touches from the owner’s family history, including reclaimed bricks and timber flooring from her late father’s estate, bring a real sense of meaning to the open-plan living area and make this renovation feel deeply personal.
✨ Rich colours, natural textures and standout details give the home its charm, from the bold wallpaper and dark kitchen to the striking main bedroom with its own upstairs retreat. Blending treasured memories with beautiful design, this renovation feels both welcoming and unforgettable.

🎉 A massive congratulations to Leighs Construction Ltd and their project partners, who have taken out the Supreme Award under $10 million at the 2026 Commercial Project Awards for The George Forbes Building, Stage 3. The project team also took home the Commercial Project $3 – $10 million Value Award.
Delivered on budget and ahead of schedule, this project transformed Lincoln University’s main entrance in time for orientation week, creating a clearer, more welcoming gateway to the campus while ensuring university life continued without disruption. 🎓
The project saw outdated areas removed, facilities upgraded, and new spaces created across the ground and first floors. The judges were particularly impressed by the way original brick columns were retained, the entry sequence was reshaped, and the carved entrance feature strengthened the connection with Ngāi Tahu and Te Taumutu Rūnanga. 🔨
Inside, natural light brings a vibrant and inviting feel to the renewed spaces. Completed with great care around the 300 staff working above, this was a thoughtful and memorable project, and a truly deserving Supreme Award winner. ⭐
