Benchmarking the Cost of Infrastructure

To solve New Zealand's infrastructure challenges we need to deliver quality infrastructure at an affordable price. So, how much does it cost to build infrastructure in New Zealand? And how do we compare with other high-income countries? That's the subject of a report that we published last month, entitled ‘The lay of the land: Benchmarking New Zealand's infrastructure delivery costs’. In our report, we draw on research from Oxford Global Projects, who provide expert advice on infrastructure project management and benchmarking around the world. In this episode we're joined by Andreas Leed and Dirk Pöker from Oxford Global Projects, who will discuss their findings and share some of their broader insights. Andreas is head of data science at Oxford Global Projects and Dirk is a research analyst and PhD candidate at the University of Alicante in Spain.
