HOW WE’RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE NOW
REPOSITIONING & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Prioritising Adaptive Reuse – Where possible, we rework existing buildings to extend their lifecycle, reducing waste and preserving embodied carbon.
Thoughtful New Development – When new construction is needed, we ensure its energy-efficient, durable, and built for the long term.
Sustainable Partnerships – We collaborate with contractors, architects, and suppliers who champion sustainable design, ethical labour practices, and responsible material sourcing.
REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Smart Energy Solutions – Where feasible, we integrate solar power, passive design principles, and energy-efficient systems to lower operational carbon.
Material Repurposing & Circular Economy – We actively salvage and reuse materials from projects to minimise landfill waste.
COMMUNITY & SOCIAL IMPACT
Auckland University Support Award – We provide support to Business School students facing financial challenges through our donations to the Business School Student Support Award
Giving Back Through Volunteer Days – We take 3 days off a year to volunteer our time (and money) to vulnerable communities – if you have a charity who you think could benefit, please reach out.
Supporting Local Business – We prioritise local trades, small businesses, and social enterprises, ensuring economic value stays within the community.
