A budget without contingency is not a budget. It’s a hope.
Hear from our Project Consultant Vern Lawry on why contingency should reflect the actual risk in a project, not simply a percentage someone is comfortable with.

Buying land without understanding the ground conditions can leave a major project risk unresolved.

Our GM, Almanzo, explains why geotech needs to happen early, and why the right investigation matters.

We’re looking for an experienced Site Manager to join our Southland team.

This is a key role for Attika as we continue to grow our presence and project pipeline across the region.

We’re looking for someone with solid commercial construction experience who is comfortable taking ownership of a site, leading subcontractors and coordinating the day-to-day delivery of projects from establishment through to completion.

You’ll work closely with our Project Managers, QSs and wider design and delivery team, with the autonomy to make decisions, solve problems and keep projects moving.
Our Southland office is based in Gore, but there is flexibility to be based elsewhere in the region.

If you’re an experienced Site Manager considering your next move, or you know someone who could be a good fit for Attika, we’d like to hear from you.

Applications are being managed by Assemble Recruitment.

The cost of leaving a commercial property can catch tenants off guard, particularly when it hasn't been properly considered at the start of a lease.

Attika Project Consultant Vern Lawry explains what to look out for before signing and how to avoid an expensive surprise down the track.

A strong design and a competitive build price are only part of the funding equation.

For lenders, certainty matters just as much.
So when should the funding conversation start, and what helps give a bank confidence in a commercial construction project?

Our GM Almanzo, explains why getting this right early can make a real difference.

The fastest projects aren't always built faster. They're decided faster.

There are limits to how much time you can realistically take out of construction. But the months leading up to it are a different story.

Knowing which decisions need to be made, when they need to be made, and what information is needed to make them well can have a significant impact on the overall programme.

In this short video, we look at why speed comes from structure rather than rushing.

We've also put together a guide to the full commercial building process, from the initial business case and site selection through design, consent, construction and handover.

Chasing perfect documentation can cost you weeks. It still might not save you from an RFI.

So where's the line? Our Design Manager Jess explains.

A big week of progress on our project at Silverdale, including one very early start!

At midnight on Friday, the team kicked off one of the largest pours on the project to date: 1,100m² of internal floor slab.
Over the next six and a half hours, 180m³ of concrete arrived across 45 truckloads, with the full slab in place by 6.30am.

It followed another early morning pour earlier in the week for the suspended car park slab, while overhead the roof is now complete and the building is increasingly taking shape.

These are the milestones that change a project quickly. A huge amount of planning, coordination and work goes into a few hours on site, and by sunrise the building looked very different from the night before.

Great work from everyone involved in keeping Silverdale moving.

Can design and build deliver a genuinely architectural commercial building?

It can, but only when architecture, cost, structure and construction are developed together.

Without that integration, design and build can become cookie-cutter. With it, clients can create something genuinely distinctive while still understanding the cost and buildability of each decision as the design evolves.

In our latest article, we look at what separates custom design and build from the standardised version, and what clients should ask before choosing a team.
