Home / Commercial Construction
McBride Construction is a commercial builder in Christchurch. We deliver new builds, fitouts, refurbishments, seismic strengthening and re-roofing. Our work spans the city, the wider Canterbury region and Timaru.
We build for developers, owner-occupiers, investors, trusts, property managers and public sector clients.
Quantity surveying, project management, programme and carpentry are all delivered in-house. In other words, McBride employees run them, rather than subcontractors managed at arm’s length. As a result, you get real numbers early and control of the trades on the critical path. Better still, one company stays accountable for the result.
Because every commercial build must meet the New Zealand Building Code, we manage consenting alongside you and keep it moving. It is a straightforward way to run commercial construction in Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region.
