Government Institutions
Ashbrook Construction Consultancy Ltd provides quantity surveying services for all construction environments.
We have a sound knowledge of the New Zealand Building Act, New Zealand Building Standards and New Zealand Building Codes.
The art of understanding the completed building before any construction work has commenced is essential to ensure timely, cost effective, healthy, safe buildings which also adhere to legislative requirements. We would be proud to work in partnership with a government committed to set benchmarks, expand, redevelop and modernize. We are looking forward to having the possibility of working successfully together with the Housing and Urban Development Authority and the community. We operate nationwide, continually being exposed to social and cultural diversity.
