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 discipline.
RESidential
Backed by over a decade of diverse project experience and commercial acumen, we have recently expanded our capability into the residential sector. We are partnering with select developers to bring multi-unit redevelopments, luxury homes, and high-end renovations to life. We bring the same commitment to quality, timely delivery, transparency and value-add that our clients have come to expect—now in the residential sector. With three luxury projects currently underway across Waiheke Island and Auckland, BLACK is ready to take on new opportunities.
Contract Types
How to ENGAGE us?
EARLY CONTRACTOR INVOLVEMENT
A delivery model BLACK has extensive experience working within, Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) enables accelerated programmes, reduced risk, and greater certainty across design, cost and procurement. Early engagement allows for coordinated design development, informed procurement strategies, and value engineering opportunities to optimise cost outcomes. Pricing is developed on an open-book basis, providing full transparency and enabling project risks relating to programme, cost, quality, safety and sustainability to be identified and managed early. This approach gives clients confidence that the project is positioned to achieve the best possible outcome.
DESIGN & BUILD
BLACK partners with leading architectural and services design professionals to deliver fully integrated, turnkey Design & Build solutions. This model provides a single point of accountability and a streamlined delivery process, reducing complexity for the client team. Early collaboration enables design, procurement and construction activities to overlap, making this approach particularly effective for projects with tight timeframes. By aligning design priorities with buildability, sequencing and procurement from the outset, Design & Build supports greater programme certainty and efficient project delivery.
LUMP SUM FIXED PRICE
BLACK regularly delivers projects under Lump Sum Fixed Price contracts through competitive tender processes. Leveraging strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers across Aotearoa New Zealand, we provide robust, well-considered pricing that accurately reflects the project scope and deliverables. Our experience in managing complex environments and compressed programmes allows us to maintain cost certainty while meeting demanding programme requirements, giving clients confidence in both price and delivery.
“Black has developed industry-leading delivery methodologies to achieve the best outcomes for the client regardless of project size and complexity. Every project, and client, is treated with the utmost significance ensuring consistency in delivery while acknowledging they remain the core focus of the Black business model.”
— Dylan Hutt, Managing Director
