Community Housing Aotearoa work with Construction Industry Council

CHA is pleased to be a member of the Construction Industry Council (CIC) as it aligns our work supporting community housing providers to link with the development and building sector.

CIC works in areas of information, networking, advocacy, research and legislation. Go to their resources page on their website here to see guidelines and other construction industry resources.
