I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from BSM. They assisted me to turn my dreams into practical, cost effective, and attractive environments, built to serve the school for many more decades.

- Geraldine Travers MNZM

The tandem nature of our school lead refurbishment and seven weather-tightness projects within Ministry of Education guidelines was handled and delivered with absolute professionalism. Beyond the technical skill, your team’s empathetic communication helped our staff and board feel confident and informed. We especially appreciated the empathy shown when navigating noise and site restrictions, as you consistently help adapt the schedule to minimize disruption to our daily learning environment.

- Steve Reid

On the MRGS Weathertightness Project, a multiple building remediation, BSM helped us navigate complex Building Consent amendments, conflicting council feedback, scope changes and programme impacts by setting out options and providing clear documentation. BSM worked collaboratively with the wider team to test alternatives, clarify compliance pathways, and keep decisions moving forward. Their calm, solutions focused input made a tangible difference during a complex stage of the project.

I would like to express our school’s sincere appreciation for the outstanding way the Block 2 weathertightness project was managed and completed. From start to finish, the process ran exceptionally smoothly, thanks to the professionalism, clear communication, and collaborative spirit of everyone involved. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. Their collective professionalism, teamwork, and commitment ensured a superb outcome for our school, and we are genuinely grateful for their efforts.

- Waitakere Primary School

The weather-tightness project we undertook with BSM had an abundance of unexpected discoveries. BSM worked with, and alongside us to create robust and practical details to fulfil the requirements of the situation and the council weather-tightness team.

    BSM Group Architects is a New Zealand practice with a genuine commitment to delivering architecture that makes a difference.

With offices in Whanganui and Auckland and alliances with professionals around the country, we undertake a wide range of work including education, community, church, residential, commercial, retail, and government projects.
