Tā mātou mahi

We research important infrastructure issues, advise on policy, provide expert project support, and share data on both upcoming projects and infrastructure performance.

Our work
Mahere Tūāhanga ā-Motu

We're working on a National Infrastructure Plan that will help guide decision-making by both central and local government and give the infrastructure industry more confidence to invest in the people, technology and equipment they need to build more efficiently.

National Infrastructure Plan

New Zealand faces some big challenges. We can’t afford to build the infrastructure we need to solve them all. The Infrastructure Priorities Programme (IPP) is a way for us to identify the top infrastructure issues and solutions - so we can be sure we’re making the right decisions.​

Benchmarking the cost of infrastructure

Authors of a recent report on infrastructure delivery costs discuss their findings and share some of their broader insights.

To solve New Zealand's infrastructure challenges we need to deliver quality infrastructure at an affordable price. So, how much does it cost to build infrastructure in New Zealand? And how do we compare with other high-income countries? That's the subject of our recent report, The lay of the land: Benchmarking New Zealand's infrastructure delivery costs.

In our report, we draw on research from Oxford Global Projects, who provide expert advice on infrastructure project management and benchmarking around the world.

In this episode of Infrastructure for a Better Future, we're joined by Andreas Leed and Dirk Pöker from Oxford Global Projects, who discuss their findings and share some of their broader insights. Andreas is head of data science at Oxford Global Projects and Dirk is a research analyst and PhD candidate at the University of Alicante in Spain.
