Auckland is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. In 2024, the economy will drive that trajectory even faster and higher. With that growth comes a lot of development and construction, from new residential builds to commercial fit-outs and beyond.
Large international construction companies are plentiful, and while they can be good, there are many benefits to choosing a local construction company. If you’re ready to embark on a new project, it’s crucial to consider – as we say in New Zealand – ‘supporting your local’.
But what are the real rewards to be reaped here? Read on as we explore the benefits of choosing a local construction company. From familiarity with Auckland’s building codes to staunch support for the local economy… let’s dive right in.
Familiar with Local Regulations and Building Codes
Local regulations, building codes, and council permits can be a complex web to navigate. For larger companies who don’t have specific knowledge in a region, getting through the red tape can take as long – if not longer – than if you did it yourself.
If you choose a local company like the Stehr Brothers, you can enjoy the extra guidance that comes from intimate knowledge of the government’s ins and outs. Our experience in dealing with these regulations can streamline the process significantly.
Not only does this ensure that you avoid delays and get projects finished on time, but it also means you won’t be caught unawares by a nasty fine or found non-compliant.
A Network of High-Quality Local Suppliers
Local construction companies like ours are firmly entrenched within the community of Auckland suppliers and adjunct trades. Thanks to a network of established relationships, you can benefit from better deals on materials, faster response times, and greater availability.
Local suppliers, subcontractors, and other stakeholders become extremely important during construction projects and renovations. With connections here, your local construction company can ensure your project doesn’t fall behind when things get tough.
Accessibility and Communication
One major reason to hire a local construction company is its accessibility. With offices close to your project site, it’s much easier to both physically and digitally access a local company. Accessibility is key for site visits, last-minute meetings, or even project updates.
Smaller companies tend to have smaller client loads, enabling them to spend more time and energy ensuring that you’re getting exactly what you’re looking for. Of course, this will vary from company to company, but the Stehr Brothers hold communication at the forefront of our values.
Understanding Unique Local Challenges
Auckland has a unique terrain and weather patterns, which can present some real challenges during a construction project. Local companies like ours know exactly how to deal with these challenges, allowing us to adapt our construction methods and recommend the right materials for the job.
Whether handling Auckland’s notoriously hilly sites or tackling the variable weather, we’ve got the experience to keep things running smoothly.
Focus on Quality Craftsmanship
Local construction companies often prioritise quality craftsmanship above all else, seeking to establish and maintain a great local reputation. Our work reflects not only our skills but also our commitment. We focus on delivering projects that meet or exceed client expectations, which means we’ll go the extra mile.
Because smaller companies have smaller client portfolios, this also translates into a deeper focus on the quality of the work they can provide. Clients who are willing to partner with these local firms can greatly benefit from this.
Support for the Local Economy
Finally, supporting your local construction company in Auckland is a great way to support your local economy. You’re able to contribute to the growth and sustainability of Auckland’s economy while ensuring your project gets the most loving treatment possible. In other words, there’s no downside. Local companies hire local talent, providing vital employment opportunities for the community.
Local companies will most likely source their supplies from local businesses, allowing that support to ripple across the entire industry.
When it comes to partnering with a local construction company, there are too many benefits to count. From enjoying all the focus on your project to tapping into a network of local suppliers that will drive your project forward, this choice will have your project crossing the finish line on time, on budget, and hassle-free.
