Who we are
New Zealand Construction Reports is a Christchurch-based, independent construction research and consulting business, building on more than a decade of industry research undertaken through Blackburn Management.
​
Our work began after identifying a simple problem within the residential construction industry: builders and other industry professionals often struggled to get a clear, current picture of what was actually happening in their market.
​
What started with the collection and analysis of building consent data from Canterbury's councils developed into the Canterbury Construction Report, now published monthly across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri. Today, our research has expanded across construction, residential land development and customized market analysis throughout New Zealand.
Our reports
We publish a range of national, regional and specialist construction and land development reports.
What makes us different
We analyse large volumes of construction, development, population and market data. But collecting data is only the beginning.
We dig into the data to find the story behind the numbers — identifying what is changing, why it matters and turning it into clear, practical information our clients can use.
Our purpose
We provide independent, objective and practical construction intelligence to help builders, developers, suppliers, consultants, councils, government organisations and other industry professionals make better-informed decisions.
The complexity should be our work - not in the client's reading.
