From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 15 June 2022

As the Gib shortage continues to place a stranglehold on the construction sector, some key players hope a new solution can be found.

The Building Industry Federation met with the Ministry of Business yesterday to argue that builders should be allowed to swap Gib boards out for other brands of plasterboard without having to apply for whole new building consents.

Building Industry Federation of NZ chief executive Julien Leys spoke to Corin Dann.
