Sector Expertise

Project types we
know deeply

Twenty-five years of construction consulting across New Zealand's most complex and consequential project types — giving us an institutional understanding that only comes from time on the ground.

Commercial
Development

The Challenge

Commercial developments carry complex procurement structures, intensive stakeholder management requirements, and the pressure of income loss if practical completion is delayed. Construction risk can materially impact project returns.

Our Contribution

  • Design and build contract advisory
  • Programme management and delay risk
  • Tenant fitout coordination oversight
  • Due diligence for lenders and investors

Residential &
Build-to-Rent

The Challenge

Large-scale residential and BTR programmes involve managing contractor risk across high-volume unit delivery, complex cost-plus or GMP contracts, and tight programme windows driven by sales or tenancy commitments.

Our Contribution

  • GMP and cost-plus contract oversight
  • Bulk services and infrastructure advisory
  • Developer's representative for off-plan settlements
  • Funder's independent certifier

Infrastructure

The Challenge

Infrastructure projects — transport, three waters, utilities — involve complex multi-contract environments, demanding public accountability requirements, and the risk of significant claims from large, experienced contractors.

Our Contribution

  • NZS 3910 / NEC contract administration
  • Programme governance and controls
  • Claims analysis and dispute support
  • Independent assurance for funding bodies

Health &
Education

The Challenge

Health and education builds demand exceptional quality and compliance standards, operational continuity during construction, and complex procurement within tight public funding constraints — often with multiple stakeholder governance layers.

Our Contribution

  • Procurement structure and tendering advisory
  • Operational continuity planning
  • Independent cost and programme review
  • Ministry / Crown entity reporting support
