WHAT WE DELIVER
FITOUT
Highly regarded as specialists within the Aotearoa New Zealand interiors market, BLACK has delivered fitout projects for some of the largest and most reputable global and local organisations across multiple market sectors. Our genuine commitment to quality and collaborative delivery approach sets us apart, supported by our proven track record and established industry relationships. We work in close partnership with our clients to deliver their vision, offering a best-in-class project experience and outcome.
REFURBISHMENT
With experience across adaptive reuse, building repositioning and service & seismic upgrade projects, BLACK regularly partners with building owners, developers, and asset managers to refurbish existing buildings and facilities. Critical to the successful delivery of these projects is effective management of the sites, often within live environments, while maintaining the highest H&S standards. These works require careful planning to minimise building disruption while improving end-user experience through the provision of world-class facilities and built environments.
CONSTRUCTION
We have expanded our capability into extensive renovation and new build projects as a natural progression in our commitment to provide industry-leading delivery across multiple project platforms. With proven robust systems, established processes, and the addition of technical expertise within the team, BLACK are excited to continue to drive industry benchmarks within this new discipline.
Contract Types
How to ENGAGE us?
early contractor involvement
A model BLACK has extensive experience delivering within, Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) allows for accelerated delivery timeframes, reduced risk, design coordination & certainty, procurement strategies, and value engineering for cost efficiencies through early project consultation with the client. With pricing obtained under an open book format, the ECI process offers complete transparency and the ability to identify and manage any project risks early (whether related to time, cost, quality, safety or sustainability), providing certainty that the optimal outcomes will be achieved.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCT
We partner with architectural and services design professionals to provide you with a complete turn-key design and construct project whereby our partnerships enable us to provide a full end-to-end project service. This model enables early partnership, removes a number of complexities, and provides a streamlined single point of contact service for the client team(s). This model is significantly beneficial to tight delivery timeframes whereby procurement and construction activities can run concurrently with design development allowing us to shift the focus and priorities of the design process to benefit the final delivery programme.
LUMP SUM FIXED PRICE
We regularly participate in competitive tenders to clients under a Lump Sum Fixed Price contract arrangement. Utilising our strong relationships and network with subcontractors and suppliers across Aotearoa New Zealand, we put forward viable and comprehensive pricing that accurately meets the project scope and deliverables. At BLACK, we pride ourselves on our ability to meet programme requirements and maintain costs even within compressed delivery timeframes and complex working environments.
