19. Is New Zealand building for tomorrow or settling for today?

02 September 2026

In this episode, Hamish and Sam are joined by Quintin Blackburn, Senior Principal in Project Delivery at Beca, to discuss short-term thinking in New Zealand's construction and infrastructure sector.

They explore why short-termism persists despite its costs, the barriers to achieving genuine value for money, and how procurement and project delivery can be structured differently.
