Niche Group

Niche Group Niche Group delivers commercial and modular construction across New Zealand. 50+ years, 1,000+ projects. Based in Petone, Wellington.

Sectors: commercial, education, healthcare, multi-residential, defence, and oil and gas. Niche Group is a professional construction firm operating across New Zealand. We deliver multidisciplinary, vertically integrated construction services, including D&B, ECI, and main contractor roles. While we invest in construction technology such as offsite manufacturing, we remain a main contractor at heart.

Headquartered in Petone, Lower Hutt, we deliver both modular and traditional construction across both private and public sectors, producing turnkey solutions for a range of customers including commercial, residential, education, healthcare, police and defence, and oil and gas projects. Our team of 150+ professionals manages projects from early contractor involvement through to handover, with a track record of more than 1,000 completed projects. We select the construction method that best serves the project. When programme certainty, cost certainty, or live-environment delivery is critical, our modular capability gives clients a defensible completion date from day one. When a project demands bespoke structural complexity, we deliver traditional construction to the same standard. We help our clients achieve their modular building goals by working closely with architects, designers, and other key stakeholders to develop designs that are appropriate to off-site manufacturing while responding to the site environment and end-user needs. Niche Group is privately owned and operated in New Zealand and operates at the top tier of the New Zealand construction market. We are committed to being a leader in the New Zealand building industry. Every project we deliver is held to the same standard of programme discipline, quality of delivery, and client accountability.

Our first modular units for the South Island have left the factory and are now making their way South.

Transport is being handled by TDM Transport, with units hitting the road last week after some ferry delays.

More to come as the project progresses.

A new car park delivered for Taita College, with a refurbished block of classrooms also close to completion.

Building on an occupied school site means structuring the construction programme around the school calendar from day one. It’s how we are used to operating at Niche, having delivered education projects across the Wellington region for years.

The Niche team was in Otago last week as part of our South Island roadshow, meeting developers and operators across the accommodation and construction sectors.

The conversations spanned hotels and visitor accommodation, seasonal worker housing, retirement villages, aged care, student accommodation, and workforce housing for large-scale projects.

There is a strong pipeline of work taking shape across the region, and modular delivery suits a lot of it. It is an area we are keen to keep building in.

The Niche team headed to Taradale yesterday for the blessing of the new Police Base.
The base is built from nineteen of our modules, designed, manufactured, and installed by Niche for New Zealand Police .

A building like this brings together the work of a lot of people, and the blessing was a special moment to stand alongside the client and project team and mark what's been built.

It was an honour to be part of it. Thank you to NZ Police for the invitation.

The Niche team headed south last month, spending time in Christchurch as part of our South Island roadshow.

We sat down with developers, education providers, and iwi partners to understand where the region's construction pipeline is heading.

Student accommodation came up often, and it suits modular well. We manufacture offsite, which speeds up occupancy and keeps a live campus running through the build. The need for community and affordable housing is significant, and it is work we want to be part of.

Good conversations, real opportunities, and a region we are keen to keep building in.

Carpark complete at Newlands College.

This is just one stage in a longer programme. Modular teaching blocks are planned next in the programme, delivered around a live school site.

Planned from the start and delivered on programme. That’s the Niche standard.

Early Contractor Involvement changes the risk profile of a project before a contract is signed.

When Niche is engaged at the planning stage, programme sequencing, site constraints, procurement lead times, and buildability questions are resolved during design. The result is a project that enters the construction phase with fewer unknowns and a cost plan that reflects what the build actually requires.

Niche offers ECI engagement as a standard part of how we approach any project. The earlier the conversation starts, the stronger the delivery outcome.

Another education project underway for Niche Group in Taupo for TKKM o Whakarewa I Te Reo Ki Tuwharetoa.

Soon the slab will house a brand new teaching block comprising two general learning spaces, a breakout room, and a toilet block.

The foundations are laid and the build is progressing to programme.

That's the pace we hold across every project we deliver.
