Abstract

Shortages in materials, skilled labour, and equipment, are well known within construction industries, and impede performance on ongoing and pipeline projects. This study explores international construction joint ventures (ICJVs) as a resourcing model that could relieve pressures within the New Zealand (NZ) construction industry. The study goes further to identify the risks and constraints associated with ICJVs. There is a dearth of literature on the role of ICJVs and their impact on the industry within the context of resource acquisition. The data for this study were collected by way of the administration of an online questionnaire survey to a representative sample of contractors, developers, and consultants. A simple descriptive method of analysis was employed for ease of understanding. The study established that materials and labour were the most demanding resources that ICJVs could help address in NZ. Risks associated with compliance with local regulations and certi fi cation requirements and those related to lead times were the most critical constraints for international material acquisition. The study fi ndings also indicate that language and communication barriers and differences in the practice of rules and regulations were the most signi fi cant constraints for utilising international skilled labour.

国际建筑合资企业的资源配置模式
在建筑行业中,材料、熟练工人和设备的短缺是众所周知的,并阻碍了正在进行和即将进行的项目的绩效。本研究探讨了国际建筑合资企业(icjv)作为一种资源模式,可以缓解新西兰(NZ)建筑行业的压力。该研究进一步确定了与icjv相关的风险和限制。在资源获取的背景下,关于国际合资企业的作用及其对行业的影响的文献很少。本研究的数据是通过对承包商、开发商和顾问的代表性样本进行在线问卷调查的方式收集的。为了便于理解,采用了一种简单的描述性分析方法。该研究表明,材料和劳动力是国际合资企业在新西兰可以帮助解决的最苛刻的资源。与遵守当地法规和核证要求有关的风险以及与交货时间有关的风险是国际物资采购的最关键制约因素。研究结果还表明,语言和沟通障碍以及规章制度实践中的差异是利用国际熟练劳动力的最重要的限制因素。
