We don’t manage projects from the sidelines, and we don’t sell services — we deliver outcomes.

As project delivery specialists we understand competing drivers and success factors that influence projects, and we successfully orchestrate and navigate these to incredible results. Whilst we have listed out specific services we regularly provide, we operate by really listening, analysing, and understanding what outcomes will lead us there, and then we deliver.

Projectus delivers.

Our opportunity to shape and deliver project success is greatest right at the start, when your project is just an idea. However, we’ll extract and deliver exceptional value at any project stage.

1
Feasibility
We provide robust technical and market advice that informs your decision and aligns the project strategy with your objectives.
2
Design
We assemble the most fit-for-purpose design team, make clear their required outputs which align with your project critical success factors, and ensure all programme milestones are met.
3
Procurement
We implement the appropriate procurement strategy to deliver best value for cost, balancing your profit and purpose drivers.
4
Construction
We ensure the physical works meet your cost, programme and quality objectives, whilst providing technical and commercial support to the entire delivery team and removing risks and issues ahead.
5
Handover and compliance
We ensure the asset you receive is compliant and defect-free. It’s as simple as that.

Our projects

A selection of recent work, from heritage upgrades to large residential and industrial programmes.

Nexus Apartments

Grey Lynn, Auckland. High density residential.

Role: Project Management, Construction Management, Contract Management
Objective: Develop & construct a mixed-use high density residential and commercial asset for a long-standing client, in a busy neighbourhood and within a tight, challenging site.
What we’ve done: We provided project management services to establish clear deliverables and the project delivery roadmap for the project team, and executed it to completion, within the financial and programmed targets. We also had a construction management scope for several client direct sourced elements which enabled the client to achieve an accelerated programme and overall reduced project costs.

Smeeton’s Building

75 Queen Street, Auckland CBD. Heritage preservation and repurposing.

Role: Project Management, Engineer to Contract
Objective: Projectus were tasked to devise and implement a plan to completely upgrade this heritage asset for the client to turn it into a highly performing cashflow asset, whilst developing a strategy to ease the capital burden on the owner.
What we’ve done: We determined and executed value increase through re-purposing and varying the building use through a mix of retail and residential use. We identified and leveraged the existing high-value building features to retain the heritage character and associated cost benefits. The delivery was planned in stages to facilitate tenant capture and leverage it for funding.

Westwood Terraces

St Mary’s Bay, Auckland. Distressed project recovery.

Role: Project Management, Recovery Strategy & Implementation
Objective: Remobilise a project to ensure it realises it’s financial and strategic objectives for the client.
What we’ve done: Analysis of critical success factors and implemented a project re-set, including design improvements and value engineering, robust procurement and tightly controlled project delivery.

Quartz Ave

Rotorua. 42-lot residential subdivision.

Role: Development Management, Project Management
Objective: Coordinate and deliver a residential subdivision development of 42 homes, consisting of 18 two bedroom, 16 three bedroom, 8 four bedroom and a shared green space.
What we’ve done: Projectus assessed the development programme feasibility and implemented a delivery plan with the whole project team resulting in project programme acceleration and timely completion within the development budget. Energy efficient homes delivered under the Homestar 6 Standard. Community engagement was key for a development of this size and following ongoing consultation with local iwi and neighbouring properties, the development was welcomed. The reduced time onsite was beneficial for the neighbours with little complaints during the construction phase.

Freight Distribution Centre

Penrose, Auckland. Industrial refurbishment and seismic upgrade.

Role: Project Management, Construction Management
Objective: Complete a total refurbishment and seismic upgrade works programme in one of the largest warehouse freight distribution centres in New Zealand. The property incorporates Head Office operations along with transport, courier and logistics, serving their network and customers nation-wide.
What we’ve done: Responsible for overall project delivery plan and execution. A notable outcome is a 65% cost saving in the seismic works programme through value engineering and construction methodology strategy.
