Our services

Building a property, particularly a larger one such as a high-end architecturally designed home or a commercial building, means negotiating a minefield of consent issues, contractor selection, supplier and trade coordination and potential cost overruns.

That’s where our combination of project management and quantity surveying skills can help. We take care of every aspect of the process, keep the project on time and up to date and, through detailed quantity surveying up front and careful management throughout the build, we ensure there are no nasty surprises. 

Focus provides services in residential and commercial sectors both for new and existing building projects throughout New Zealand. These include:
  • Quantity Surveying and Project Management on high-end architectural housing;
  • Commercial projects such as Retirement Village developments;
  • Apartment blocks, office blocks, retail and insurance assessment and structural upgrade projects. 

Client needs vary considerably from project to project and client to client, but we can and will tailor-make a solution to fit the specific needs of a particular project.

Project Management


Focus Project Managers work hard to develop close relationships with key stakeholders and to establish and define project goals and parameters, then set to work to provide a successful outcome for our clients. We can:

  • Develop and manage construction programmes – from high level, development-stage programmes through to detailed construction sequencing programmes – as each project stage requires;
  • Engage Consultants and manage design – we select the right team of designers for the project and then make sure the team works together for the best overall outcome for the client;
  • Procure Contractor(s) – selecting and engaging the Contractor(s) that best fit the project;
  • Monitor and control the project – project costs, health and safety overviews and adherence to programme;
  • Quality assurance – ensuring not only the quality of the final finishes but also hidden and “behind the scenes” items that are just as important, for example structural elements and services;
  • Project close-out – a successful project is only as good as the finished product.

Contract Management

Our Contract Administrators take great pride in managing contracts, including obtaining approval of any necessary variations (changes to a contract that may be needed during its course). This ensures the project is completed in accordance with the contract and to the stipulated budget, programme and quality requirements. Focus also takes pride in ensuring that:

  • Payment claims are reviewed and processed in accordance with the Construction Contracts Act (CCA);
  • Variations are managed in accordance with the contract conditions – including claimed variation review, processing and approvals;
  • Retentions are held where applicable, and in line with the terms of the contract;
  • Accurate forecasting of a project’s “cost to complete” is maintained to ensure that there are no financial surprises;
  • Final accounts management is completed – including the review and approval process for project close-out.
