Once the engineers re-review the buildings subsequent to the Xmas shakes, the rebuild will get under way in earnest. Much was being started late last year and already the demand for staff and materials was being noticed across the country.

What does that mean locally? We may see a number of our building-associated companies send staff to the quake city which could limit the rate at which repairs, extensions and alterations etc can be completed. It could also see some of our building-related manufacturers and or importers do well and in fact need more staff. In general, the Chch rebuild will be good for our national economy but create scarcity and competition for services in many towns and cities as staff head to Canterbury.
