Julien Lays: Building Industry Federation CEO on the changes to the Building Act creating more competition

The Building Industry Federation's top boss says cutting-red tape around building supplies will bring down costs.   The Government is changing the Building Act to address a shortage of supplies and long wait-times for new products to be approved.   That includes by green-lighting products with a reputable overseas certification and recognising approval schemes used in countries like Australia.   Julien Lays told Mike Hosking that there’s hundreds of thousands of products out there that could be used.  He said that it provides far more competition, which is what we need.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
