Maori have always been builders. We built waka that crossed the ocean and marae that have inspired people for generations. Now we’re entering a new era – one where our skills and energy will help complete the building and infrastructure projects this country needs.

Aotearoa Construction is a Maori-controlled construction company with the capability to fulfil major contracts. Naturally, we’re 100% New Zealand owned. More than that, our ethos and kaupapa are focused on ensuring the benefits of construction are shared with our whanau, hapu and iwi.

While we have a strong commercial motivation, we also see enormous potential to re-shape the construction sector so that Maori can participate more fully. Iwi development initiatives and strategic partnerships with Maori organisations provide a unique base for Maori investment that can drive greater employment and self-determination. Aotearoa Construction is a natural partner in these ventures.

We also play our part by providing career pathways for Maori trainees, trades people and contractors to build satisfying careers in the construction business.
