Agree a price in low $5 might be more suitable. Their incompetence sounds deep rooted and an entire cleanout might be needed.

On the plus side they do have (for how long) a monopoly on the inefficient NZ building market. As the pressure increases on the low productivity in NZ due to the high demand for accomodation the Gov will become increasingly more hands on with regulation + $. Has anyone noted the new China construction companies building in Auckland? Are they bringing in their own China labour too?? I think this is a result of the lack of construction resource here.
