If you missed the Q&A Session at The Developers Forum 2026, here’s what was discussed.
• How will the new legislative approval of Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) benefit developers, builders and the broader industry?
• What key learnings are emerging from the growing adoption of LDI, and what additional benefits are projects and stakeholders experiencing?
• Beyond risk mitigation, what unexpected value does independent project oversight deliver throughout the construction lifecycle?
• What legal risks are developers and builders overlooking, and what practical steps can they take to better protect themselves?
• With ongoing feasibility challenges, what practical strategies can improve project viability?
• Given rising insurance premiums, material cost volatility and increasing defect rectification expectations, what level of project contingency should be considered?
• How can developers effectively manage the cost and time impacts of regulated design variations during construction?
• Is the Building Commission seeing measurable improvements in building quality, and how is it continuing to restore confidence and better protect consumers?
