Our ECI & Construction Approach

We partner with public and private sector clients, adding value through technology, construction methodology, buying power and expertise. Our mandate is to deliver on time, on budget and above expectation. Through a partnership model and our end-to-end offering, we create success for everyone involved, from clients, stakeholders, staff and subcontractors through to communities across New Zealand. We build buildings. We build relationships. We build outcomes for our country that everyone can be proud of.

Most of a project’s outcome is decided before we reach site. That’s where we start.

One team, from concept to completion

By procuring under our managing contractor model, Southbase holds accountability for keeping the brief and budget together and managing risk across the full project and procurement lifecycle. That’s how we deliver outcomes for our clients on time, on budget and to the highest standard.

Early engagement

We work with clients and their advisors well before procurement opens. Understanding your programme early lets us help shape the solution.

Price certainty

We run estimating, programming and preconstruction nationally to one standard. Our pricing draws on benchmarking data from completed projects, so tenders are built on evidence.

Sector expertise

Our teams are organised by sector, with dedicated leads who know each client’s programme. Lessons from one project carry through to the next.

Digital delivery

We’re moving every project onto one coordinated digital model for design, pricing, construction and handover. That means less rework and a digital record of your asset.
