NZBERS 2026 provides a practical platform for construction and built environment professionals to share knowledge, showcase innovation, and connect research with real-world industry challenges.
Industry participants will gain early access to emerging research, tools, and case studies, while exploring opportunities for applied research collaboration, student internships, and professional development with the School of Built Environment. We welcome theoretical, empirical, practice-based, and policy-focused contributions, and strongly encourage submissions from early-career researchers, postgraduate students, and industry practitioners.
This symposium offers valuable opportunities to engage with government and key sector organisations, including BRANZ and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
