The federal government has extended the deadline to begin construction under the homebuilder grant program by an additional 12 months. Speaking after the government announcement, Masters Builders Australia CEO Denita Wawn said a survey by the industry body showed that 70 percent of builders have been affected by delays and cost increases for major trades and construction products.
