Carl Taylor: Combined Building Supplies Co-Op CEO on the signs of recovery in the construction sector - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

There are tentative signs of recovery, as a troubled construction sector looks to turn the corner. 

A new report shows the sector generated $94 billion in revenue in the year to March, down slightly from $99 billion the year prior. 

Despite this, the report shows residential consents have levelled off, government infrastructure projects are restarting, and falling interest rates are supporting mortgage activity. 

Combined Building Supplies Co-Op CEO Carl Taylor told Mike Hosking the Government is doing everything it promised to do to help. 

He says he couldn't even get in front of the Construction Minister in the last government, but this government actually listens.
