A post-Covid rush on home renovations and new builds has caused prices to skyrocket, frustrating delays and products to run out. Industry sources tell Jane Phare how to beat the building blues. Fletcher Building s CEO Ross Taylor doesn t rate himself particularly highly when it comes to predictions. For example he, like most others in the building industry, predicted tight times after lockdown. Prepare for the worst, keep stocks under control, hunker down, that was the idea.
The double-storey apartments would be in five lakeside blocks. The land for the development was bought in 2011 for a total of 110 apartments, but despite several resource consents issued, only the first stage of 36 had so far been built. The new apartments would be the second stage, built in five apartment blocks next to those already completed. Like the first stage, they would have living areas on the ground floor with bedrooms and balconies above.

Joseph Parker will be up against a fighter almost 10kgs heavier than himself in the form of Junior Fa after both fighters successfully completed the weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight clash on Saturday night.
Parker came in at 108.9kgs, a weight that stacks up as around average for his career, while Fa tipped the scales at 118.1kgs.
Along with the difference in weight, Fa holds a reach advantage of 11cm and 3cm in height over his more highly-fancied opponent and showcased those physical traits as the fighters faced off with an extended exchange of quiet words.
