Explore the latest construction and infrastructure trends across Aotearoa with our 2025 Regional Insights Report.

What’s in the pipeline to 2027? Recognising that the sector has experienced periods of reduced project activity, this report builds on our 2022 regional deep dives to provide a future-focused analysis of the project pipeline to 2027. It highlights the implications for regional workforce supply and demand, population shifts, and Iwi Māori impacts.​​

Key areas covered:

​

Project pipeline: analysis of the national and regional project pipeline over the next three years (2025 to 2027).

​

Key regional projects: key regional projects and their anticipated regional impacts.

​

Building consent trends: trends from building consent and work put in place data, and their implications for future planning.

​

Population impacts: population changes and their influence on regional and national construction needs.

​

Workforce supply and demand gaps: forecasted labour supply with the projected work pipeline over the next three years from the Workforce Information Platform (WIP). 

​

Iwi Māori project pipeline: insights into the value of projects within Iwi Māori boundaries, rather than more traditional regional or territorial lines.
