NZ Construction Alliance - Company Profile 2023

NATIONAL COVERAGE LOCAL DELIVERY

NZ Construction Alliance (NZCA) is a partnership of commercial construction companies that work together to deliver nationwide construction projects.

Our eight regional partners have been operating for an average of 57 years and are committed to the alliance via a shareholder’s agreement that aligns them to the values and fundamental principles of the network

The scale and experience of NZCA creates an opportunity to leverage the talent and skills from across the alliance . The sharing of knowledge and utilisation of resources within the network ensures continuous improvement and better delivery across Aotearoa

With our robust operational processes, we have delivered over 100 projects directly with NZ Construction Alliance contracts, and many more through our partners . We specialise in delivering programmes-of-work, one-off projects, and connecting clients to our partners with the support of the wider network

The formation of the NZ Construction Alliance has created a unique proposition that ensures clients get consistency of outcomes across the country delivered by locals in each community

How we started

The NZ Construction Alliance was formed in response to a client who was impressed with the delivery of a major project, and subsequently asked for it to be replicated in other major cities across New Zealand . Our founding directors declined this invitation because working in different regions is not in the best interests of our people, is generally less efficient, and ultimately the project cannot be delivered as well .

While we were unable to fulfil this client request, it was clear that clients wanted a better offering for national projects, and our search began to find the best locally owned and operated construction companies that share our values of teamwork, strong communities, long-term trusting relationships, and putting people first .

The result is a highly successful partnership of 8 culturally aligned construction businesses, all owned and operated within their local region, while being connected to the knowledge base and the support of a national organisation .

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

• Shareholders work within the company (no absent owners)

• Employment of own site workforce .

• Commitment to apprenticeships and training

• Commitment to a professional industry organisation (Registered Master Builders or NZ Certified Builders) .

• Commitment to social, economic and environmental sustainability .

• Commitment to the local community
