Implementation 'key' to commission finding

From Morning Report, 8:26 am on 18 May 2023

The Commerce Commission released its building supplies study yesterday in which it recommended government begin monitoring price rises and take down barriers that are stopping new suppliers joining the industry.

In total there were eight recommendations including monitoring and publishing prices and providing better guidance to support builders and councils on alternative products.

Building and Construction minister Megan Woods says the Government will adopt all of the recommendations.

Carl Taylor is chairman of Combined Building Suppliers Co-operative and spoke with Corin Dann.
