As the leading voice in the building and construction industry Master Builders Victoria is called upon regularly for insight and guidance on ways to stimulate activity. Now more than ever, it’s critical to Victoria’s economic recovery that the State Government fast-track approvals for a broad range of measures that will jumpstart not only commercial and civil construction, but also home-building activity.

In order that we keep as close as possible to the impacts of COVID-19 as they occur, we want to hear from you. We ask that you let us know, as specifically as possible, what pain points you are experiencing as a result of COVID-19. These could include:

• Reasons for reduced interest from clients, such as difficulties in obtaining funding from banks
• Details of projects that are being delayed and the reasons for those delays
• Details of any hold ups during construction caused by COVID-19.

We also want to hear about any projects that you believe could be prioritised as part of the recovery effort, or stimulus measures that would help your business.

Master Builders Victoria regularly engages with government in the pursuit of measures to safeguard the strength of our industry. The pace of change with the effects of the current pandemic means there has never been a more important time for you to engage with us so that we can continue to represent you. We will take your feedback into consideration as we work with the State Government to remove as many obstacles as possible to help our community recover from the enormous disruption caused by this pandemic.
