As such, she is all too aware of the diversity of organisational needs and thereby the importance of taking the time to understand not just the requirements but also the drivers in behind them.

PARTNERSHIPS
We’re proud to partner with those who share our commitment to New Zealand as much as we do.
As leaders in our industry, we firmly believe that building homes should not come at the expense of our environment. We recognise the significance of our natural spaces and view them as a taonga, a treasure, that we share a collective responsibility to restore and preserve for generations to come.
Trees Planted
We are proud to be contributing to the biodiversity of New Zealand through our partnership with Save the Kiwi. As a charitable organisation dedicated solely to safeguarding and increasing the population of our beloved national icon, the kiwi, Save the Kiwi is making a real difference.
Although preventing injuries and hazards is critical for taking care of our people on construction sites, we believe that there is much more that we can do. That's why we’re a proud partner of Mates in Construction, a non-profit organisation dedicated to reducing the alarming rates of mental illness and suicide in the construction industry.
