Current AANZ Adjudicators

All AANZ Adjudicators have three things in common - an in-depth knowledge on the New Zealand Building Code and AS/NZS Standards especially as it pertains to dispute resolution, extensive experience in the Construction industry, usually with many years of hands-on leadership, and a shared commitment to achieving a fair and reasonable resolution with impartiality and professionalism.
