Piping and Structural design have been carried out for years in Asia and the sub continent by the major Engineering Companies here. Worley and Beca to name a couple. Cost is a factor but it also gives them the ability to keep a constant staff level here even in the ups and downs of construction and there are plenty of those.
Not a lot, in fact very few, private major construction projects around these days. O&G is history, Pulp and Paper is gone, Refinery is gone and thermal power stations are in decline. The odd geothermal and a few solar panels or wind turbines aren't enough to keep a decent construction/project workforce going and have the ability to go from project to project like the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Has Winnie been “targeting” the right group all along?
While it’s true that the recovery is going better in the farmland (courteous of the high international beef and dairy prices), one often overlooked group is apparently helping some businesses fair better in the cities than others… those targeting the so called “grey” dollar.
While a number of new car companies are struggling, those like Toyota, Hyundai, Honda and Suzuki are doing well with vehicles seen as small, reliable, not too many “gadgets”, reasonably priced and not too flash…. the sort of cars that appeals to those collecting Super buying their “last car” before they’re in need of a hearse.
While eateries still turning out avocado toast to Millennials who can’t afford too eat out are struggling, those offering scones and corn fritters are doing okay…. again, because of the “grey” money.
So, next time you see an oldie struggling to get over a pedestrian crossing and you impatiently sit there wanting them to hurry…. remember their “grey” money is more important now to the economy than ever before.

While you are absolutely correct Mike Winnie ain't getting my vote while surrounded by the current group of grifters
RIP Charlie White. We can agree to disagree but violence is never acceptable
I believe Charlie White is still alive but I admire your dedication to ice dancing and imagine your pirouette is a magical sight.
We like Roy

1 - this was all cleared when he sought guidance on how to declare. This misinformation article ignores this
2 - all those conflict of interest hints are laughable because those examples were all policies prior to the election that voters voted on.
Please post quality stuff instead of far left dribble…
For once wiz please stop lying.

“Upon becoming an MP, I met with the Registrar of Pecuniary Interests in advance of filing my return to ensure I would be declaring everything required of me.
Bates says he has done what is required of him. “The Registrar advised me that property held in a company whose shares are held by a trust, was not required to be declared.”
I’ll wait for an apology…

The thing I find most bizarre about the post internet world is that a generally sensible people like New Zealanders have gotten sucked into all this American trash.
The interweb is trolling all of us via Russian and Chinese bots, and the medium for spreading this shit is via American circus.
And people here fall for it.
Turns out there are a lot more stupid people here than I ever imagined.
Dumb, ignorant, imagination less, narrow minded bigots seem to multiplying.
Amaze balls.
So anyone who isn’t an effeminate lefty has been sucked into American trash?
