This document summarizes key findings from a 2016 survey of New Zealand architectural professionals regarding their product selection behaviors and preferences. It finds that over half of specifiers work in small practices, so suppliers should target these groups through newsletters and events. When choosing products, specifiers value quality, code compliance, and technical support. They want all relevant information easily accessible online and by phone. Downloadable CAD files are the most helpful resource. Suppliers should provide up-to-date technical documents and support to ensure their products are specified over competitors.

The Ultimate Product Design Career Guide
Are you interested in starting a career in product design? Find out the opportunities and skills you'll need to have with this career guide.
Product design is a form of industrial design that involves designing products used by millions worldwide. This could be anything from a chair to an aircraft. However, what makes product designers special is how they think consumers will interact with their product — before, during, and after purchase. That’s because product design isn’t just about creating a solution but also delivering an experience that reflects the brand promise. It’s also about making the production process efficient to make the product available at a reasonable cost.
As a market, product and industrial design is valued at $3.4 billion as of 2022 — an increase of 5.5% from 2021. There are over 17,948 product designers currently employed in the United States. That number is projected to grow 6% by 2030. In addition, it has been reported that businesses that embrace design generate 32% more revenue on average and 56% more shareholder returns.
Whether you’re a product designer looking for a new job or changing your career entirely, it’s important to know what the industry looks like and what opportunities are available. So we have created this comprehensive guide to help you determine and achieve your product design career goals.

4. Each year EBOSS builds on our knowledge by conducting
a survey of specifiers, gaining insights into their habits and
preferences and the emerging trends in specification. This
report presents and analyses the findings from the 2016
Specifier Insights Survey conducted in October 2015.
The New Zealand building industry continues to be in a state
of growth. This is fuelled largely by the high demand for housing
in Auckland and the extra resources needed for the Christchurch
rebuild. The growth in these two regions also means specifiers
from other parts of New Zealand are now working on Auckland
and Christchurch projects. With an increasingly busy workload
and Government regulations putting additional liability and
pressure on building professions, specifiers are more likely to
choose products with a proven track record or those they are
familiar with. Therefore now more than ever, suppliers need
to differentiate themselves from competitors and make it
straightforward and simple for their products to be specified.
The 2016 Specifier Insights Survey provides a clear picture of
the different specifier groups working in the industry, with a
cross section of architects and architectural designers from
a range of practices responding. Over half of all specifiers
surveyed work in practices with fewer than five employees and
it is architectural designers who are significantly more likely than
architects to fall into this category. Businesses need to identify
resource-efficient ways to communicate with the large number
of specifiers working in smaller practices. Industry events and
EBOSS newsletters are both effective channels for targeting
a large number of smaller practices at one time.
Our research shows that when choosing between products,
specifiers look for high-quality products that meet the client’s
needs, are designed for the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC)
and are recognised by councils. However, the attributes that
specifiers say they value most, relate to service. They want to
deal with suppliers who simplify the specification process by
having all technical information available and easily accessed.
Respondents also say access to technical support is crucial
— through both a website and a technical helpline. Suppliers
must ensure specifiers know what number to call by including
details on their website and in any advertising collateral or
written communications.

SUMMARY

IN TURN, HOW SUPPLIERS CAN HELP
