Tuatara Structures – Deliver well built. Go well beyond.

Tuatara Structures is a relatively young construction company but is already a leader in the design and construction of industrial, commercial and agri-buildings. Dedicated to providing clients with innovative solutions to their building needs, Tuatara Structures delivers robust, fit-for-purpose buildings across New Zealand.

Their turnkey design and build construction solutions are ideal for coolstores, packhouses, food processing and storage facilities.

Tuatara Structures understands the time constraints of production based businesses. Their experience meeting seasonal deadlines previously means they know that your business operations cannot afford to be affected by construction delays. The unique swing-leg roof lift technique utilised by Tuatara Structures means their buildings are faster, safer and more cost-effective to construct than the industry standard. While meeting build deadlines is a priority, meeting budgets is just as crucial, and with an experienced and capable team, Tuatara Structures delivers every time. As part of their commitment to client satisfaction, Tuatara Structures offers clients a complimentary, obligation-free feasibility study, complete with detailed drawings. This process involves meeting to discuss the project needs, budget, unique operations and product flow, and potential location options. Following this consultation, Tuatara Structures will present clients with a set of concept drawings, a detailed scope, and a fixed-price investment proposal for consideration. This proposal encompasses all components of the build process – from consenting and other approvals, excavation and site works, and the build itself, through to office fitouts, racking, refrigeration, and other specialist trades. The detailed plans and fixed-price investment proposal are essential elements in the Tuatara Structures process, providing clients with absolute budget certainty. These documents can also help secure lending approval and board-level sign off when required. Tuatara Structures is disrupting the old-school traditional tender and bid delivery where you find out the project cost after it has been drawn. Their strategy and determination to provide clients with a streamlined build process has produced impressive results since entering the market. They have worked with a wide range of agri-business industry clients, including Turners & Growers, Thomas Bros Orchards, Ohapi Fresh and Stonewall Farm. Current agri-business builds include a 2,700m2 coolstore for Hume Pack-N-Cool in Katikati, and an over 3,500m2 integrated coolstore, packing area and dispatch office for Southern Fruits International, the packing and marketing division of Deep Creek Fruits in Tarras. Client Sharon Kirk of Deep Creek Fruits said, “Our experience working with Tuatara Structures has been positive from the start. Every person we’ve had contact with has been knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful, making the process to get the Southern Fruits International packhouse designed, signed off and now starting to be built, seamless. We are looking forward to this year’s cherry season being completed in the new building.”
