Commercial New Build, Canterbury

Most of the value is won or lost before anyone turns a sod

A new commercial building is a significant capital decision, and most of the value is won or lost before anyone turns a sod. Design decisions, procurement timing and programme sequencing determine whether the project lands on budget.

McBride Construction delivers commercial and light industrial new builds across Christchurch and Canterbury. We work with developers, owner-occupiers, investors, trusts and public sector clients, either through competitive tender or, increasingly, through negotiated and early contractor involvement arrangements where we can add value to the design before it is locked.

What you get from us

We employ our own quantity surveyors, so we can give you a build cost at concept stage and keep it updated as the design develops. You will know when a design decision has moved the number, and by how much.

Bringing us in during design lets us flag sequencing problems, long lead items and specification choices that cost more to build than they need to.

We plan the job properly before we start and we resource it with our own people on the critical path.

Producer statements, as-builts, warranties, operating manuals and quality records, assembled properly, so your code compliance certificate and your building file are not a struggle.
