Structural steel industry body Steel Construction New Zealand (SCNZ) called for greater protection for subcontractors during its submission at a select committee hearing into the Construction Contracts Amendment Bill in Wellington. "The Construction Contracts Act must be amended, particularly with respect to retention payments, to ensure that subcontractors to the building and construction sector are better protected," said SCNZ manager Alistair Fussell. "The collapse of Mainzeal has highlighted the vulnerability of subcontractors and the devastating financial implications such an event can cause." Mainzeal went under owing an estimated $70 million to subcontractors; $20 million of that was in retention payments.
