Record consents for new homes but builders warn of delays

From Morning Report, 8:41 am on 18 January 2022

Despite a record number of consents for new homes being issued last year, builders say construction could still be delayed due to a lack of workers and materials.

There were 48,522 homes consented in the year to November 2021.

Builders say they're struggling to finish projects on time.
