Important changes to Build magazine
We’re excited to announce some significant developments for the future of Build magazine. Starting April next year, Build will transition to a digital-only format, allowing us to deliver content that’s more targeted, timely, and engaging.
The autumn issue in March 2026 will be our final print edition. There will be no November 2025 print issue.*
A new BRANZ digital platform is coming
We’re developing a digital replacement for Build, launching soon after the final print edition. This new platform is designed to be an essential resource for builders and designers a one-stop shop offering practical tools, step-by-step guides, and expert articles to support everything from project planning and compliance to material selection and best-practice construction techniques.
Stay up to date
In the meantime, we’ll continue to add new content to our extensive archive at buildmagazine.org.nz and notify you by email, including updates on the development of the digital platform.
If you’re not among the 20,000+ people already receiving Build newsletter, login above right and select 'Build newsletter'. If you don't already have a BRANZ account, you'll need to 'Sign up' first.
Looking ahead
Build has been a trusted source of independent, research-based insights for the building and construction sector for over 30 years. We’re excited about our new digital chapter and the opportunities it brings: faster access to content, relevant targeting, and richer formats like video.
