Construction has been an integral part of the New Zealand economy for many years - especially since the nationwide housing and development boom. This sector is particularly relevant in Canterbury where following the earthquakes many buildings have been repaired or rebuilt.

Drafting and advising on construction contracts.
Assisting with construction tenders.
Providing strategic and project management advice to contractors and principals on large retail and commercial developments.
