Opening up New Zealand’s building materials market to internationally certified products could lead to cost reductions, access to a broader range of products, and increased market efficiency. Partnerships with reputable companies like Vanke and AUPUP could facilitate this transition, providing New Zealand with a robust supply chain and competitive pricing. However, it is crucial to ensure that these international products meet New Zealand’s safety and quality standards to maintain the integrity of the construction sector.
New Zealand’s construction sector could stand to benefit significantly from opening up its building materials supply market to internationally certified products. This move could potentially lower the cost of building materials by allowing more competition and diversity in the market. Currently, New Zealand has specific standards that imported building materials must meet, which can limit the range of products available and keep prices high due to reduced competition.
By accepting internationally certified products, New Zealand could leverage the global market’s efficiencies and innovations, leading to cost savings. These savings could stem from economies of scale, as international suppliers may produce larger quantities at lower costs. Additionally, international certification often aligns with high standards of quality and safety, which means that New Zealand would not have to compromise on these aspects.
Importing from China through partnerships with established Chinese companies like Vanke and its procurement arm AUPUP could be particularly advantageous. Vanke’s experience in product research and development, quality control, and supply chain management could offer New Zealand access to a wide range of high-quality building materials at competitive prices. AUPUP’s platform could facilitate efficient procurement processes, further reducing costs.
Embracing international products could stimulate domestic competition, encouraging local suppliers to innovate and improve efficiency. This could lead to a more dynamic and resilient building materials market in New Zealand, capable of adapting to changing demands and economic conditions.
International Building Supplies exclusive partnership with AUPUP, the procurement arm of Vanke Group, China’s number one developer and Global Fortune 500 company, allows International Building Supplies direct access to an extensive network of over 8000 manufacturers of building materials.
This exclusive partnership enables International Building Supplies to extend unparalleled buying power, quality, and range to the New Zealand construction industry on a significant scale.
