David Hall.
David Hall will be joining the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment from Monday May 1, as the new general manager for its Building System Performance branch.
Hall comes from the Infrastructure Commission Te Waihanga, where he has been the general manager, policy. He has a wealth of experience in the building industry and local government, including having been CEO of Otorohanga and South Waikato district councils, and technical director at civil engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald.
His diverse background has given him an excellent understanding of how the building consenting system works and the intersections with resource management and development engineering requirements.
There is a lot of important work going on in Building Performance, and Hall is particularly excited to get stuck into the mahi, including the building consent review, Building for Climate Change programme, and ensuring the Building Code is keeping pace with innovations. The recent severe weather events across Aotearoa New Zealand have shown how crucial climate adaptation and flooding resilience are.
Hall is conscious of the need to enable efficiencies and affordability within the building system, without compromising the quality and protections it offers to those who in the sector and those who consume its services. He is keen to explore the opportunities and great mahi within the sector in these areas.
