A delegation led by Master Builders Victoria will attempt to poach international expertise to help reinvigorate the state’s struggling construction sector

The delegation will meet with industry peers in Europe, Canada and the United States as part of an international research project to support Victoria’s post-COVID building and construction industry.

A critical shortage of skilled tradespeople had also compounded the crisis, Casson said, with the industry experiencing gaps across carpentry, bricklaying, project managers and building surveyors.Timber prices have increased almost 40 per cent over the past three years, with the war in Ukraine pushing up the price of timber products from Russia by 25 per cent this year. The cost of steel rose by 30 to 60 per cent last year, while electrical and concrete costs have risen by 20 to 40 per cent.

“It will also provide first-hand insights into how key overseas counterparts in the building and construction industry are solving some of the current critical issues, such as supply chain constraints and skills and labour shortages.” The group will travel to Birmingham to inspect and meet with Commonwealth Games organisers from this year’s event as Victoria gears up to host the event across several regional venues in 2026. There will be further stops in Toronto, Washington, and New York.

Breaking the concrete barriers: why are there still so few women in the construction industry?The number of women in construction in Victoria remains stubbornly low, casting doubt on whether ‘pink boots campaigns’ to attract new women to the industry will meet new quotas for female workers. JewelTopsfield joshgordo Perhaps most women just don't want to work in construction, nothing to do with the atmosphere or the tradies. They just don't want to do that type of work.
