Don’t know where to start? Talk with an expert team that understands what your requirements are and provides recommendations based on how you operate. Ensuring you maximise space, productivity and return on investment.
02
Control Costs
Clear, methodical budgeting means you know exactly where you stand.
03

Tailored Features
Get advice on canopies, office spaces, and other options best suited to your location and operational needs.

End to End Experts
Don't Let Consultants & Council Derail Your Project
Navigating councils and consultants can quickly derail your project if not handled properly. Choosing the wrong architect or engineer often results in inefficient or overly complex designs, taking you two steps forward and three steps back.
Having a team that cuts through the red tape is critical to ensure every step is efficient and straightforward.
Practical Fire Compliance:
Consider design options that minimise fire walls and removes sprinklers, saving you money and reducing ongoing costs.
Cost Optimisation:
A team that understands what drives cost of steel structure, concrete and earth moving, so efficiency is designed in from the start.
Well Managed Process:
You shouldn't have to manage independent architects, engineers and council consultants. Leave it with a central team of end-to-end experts who do it in-house on your behalf and provide weekly updates to avoid confusion and miscommunication.
Work With Experts Who Get It
Everything You Need - Nothing You Don't
A hangar should deliver returns at every level both now, and into the future. Work with a team that helps you get everything you need - and nothing you don’t.
01
Efficient Steel Structures
Optimised heights and spans to suit your aircraft and operational processes, to provide maximum functionality and value.
02
Precast Concrete Walls
If you require precast for firewalls or durability, ensure they are designed to be efficient and and provide long term value.
03
Hanger Doors Built Right
Choose the door type that works for you - compare cost and benefits between sliding, bifold, sectional or panel doors to get it right for the long-term.
04
Custom Office Spaces
Whether you need simple, functional offices or a statement design, get a solution that fits your budget and showcases your business.

About Us-
Yes certainly! We work with a lot of builders around NZ to provide a turnkey design and install packages for their clients -
-
Yes, most industrial or commercial buildings, including aircraft hangars, require resource consent to ensure compliance with local zoning, environmental, and land-use regulations.
Factors like location, building purpose, and environmental impact determine whether consent is needed. It's important to consult with your local council early to understand the specific requirements for your project.
For detailed insights, check out our blog on Do You Need Resource Consent for an Industrial/Commercial Building?. -
Common causes of timeline blowouts include delays in securing consents, unexpected site conditions, supply chain disruptions, and design changes mid-project.
For aviation-related builds like hangars, factors such as compliance with aviation regulations or weather conditions may add further complexity. Planning thoroughly and working with experienced professionals can help mitigate these risks.
For a comprehensive guide, visit our blog on What Things Can Cause a Timeline Blowout on a Project?. -
The best option depends on your project goals, timeline, and level of involvement you’d like in the building process:
Design & Kitset Supply: Ideal if you want to manage construction independently but need a professionally designed and engineered kitset tailored to your needs. It offers flexibility and cost savings while ensuring a solid foundation for your project.
Design and Turnkey: This is a comprehensive, hassle-free solution where we handle everything from design to construction. Perfect for those who want a seamless experience with minimal involvement in project management.
Design and Base Build: Best if you need a fully designed and constructed structure, but plan to manage specific aspects of the build (like interiors or fit-outs) yourself. It provides a balance of control and professional support.
To determine the best fit, consider your budget, the complexity of your project, and how involved you want to be. For a better understanding View Our Services Page.
