Great to have the team from BDO present this morning covering insights from BDO’s 2026 Construction Outlook and Global Risk Landscape reports.
A standout takeaway: stay tightly connected with your accountant and lawyer well before cashflow risks start to bite.
If you would like a copy of BDO’s presentation, feel free to message us.
And, thank you BDO for a very tasty morning tea which our team thoroughly enjoyed!

Harris Tate has a long‑standing relationship as a sponsor of the Tauranga Property Investors Association. This year marked a milestone with the national conference being hosted in Tauranga for the first time.
It was a jam packed weekend of networking featuring high‑quality property workshops, respected speakers, and a busy exhibition hall, which included our own Harris Tate stand. Opes Partners delivered a well received economic update and market outlook, offering insight into where the property market may be heading over the coming years. The conference then concluded with a lively political panel discussion as we move towards upcoming elections.
What a weekend!

Meet Bear, Harris Tate’s elder statesman.
Clocking in at 17 years (that’s 84 human years) radiating calm authority, and contributing absolutely nothing to productivity except morale, which is arguably the most valuable KPI of all.
