Our vision
Our Vision - Momoeā
“He waka eke noa,” symbolising a collective journey where we all paddle together.
Quantity surveying is more than just managing costs and figures. It involves understanding our clients' needs and working collaboratively to deliver quality results. As the Māori proverb "He waka eke noa" says, "We are all in this together."
At Build Projects, we blend extensive industry knowledge with our commitment to tikanga Māori values, ensuring our projects respect diversity and inclusivity. Our approach goes beyond the technical aspects of construction as we prioritise building strong relationships with our clients, fostering open communication, and understanding their unique requirements and goals.
Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to delivering top-quality projects that meet the highest standards. We emphasise sustainability and cultural sensitivity in all our work, ensuring that each project not only fulfills its functional purpose but also honors the communities and environments it serves.
Together, we strive to create projects that stand as a testament to quality, and a shared success.

Testimonials
Colin Wood, Robinson Construction
Gene from Build Projects was the bank/client QS on a recent $10m contract undertaken by Robinson Construction here in Marlborough. He was instrumental in helping make it a smooth project, with clear communications and a pragmatic approach to dealing with the inevitable challenges along the way. I would recommend Gene and Build Projects to anyone wanting QS support on future works.
Nick Herangi, Legacy Construction Ltd
From late 2018 to the present I have had the pleasure of working alongside Gene on the Percy Vos Boat shed. Originally this contract had an overall duration of approximately nine months until Asbestos was found in very high levels throughout the building, which in turn has resulted in this contract expanding to almost two years. Throughout this ongoing process Gene has shown the entire contract team his ability to perform in a very professional manner. Informing and providing the client with substantial data, controlling costs and ensuring a positive outcome for all. Gene has a natural capacity to engage with the head contractor. He understands the mechanisms of the Construction Contract and how a Construction site is run and where costs can be saved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gene for the professional services he offers.
Jeanine McMullian, Panuku Development Auckland
Gene has always proven to be very professional, but also has a great personality which makes working with him that much easier. He is diligent about collecting information and develops reports which are easy to read and understand while still providing thorough information
Antony Matthews, Matthews & Matthews Architects Ltd
I am writing on behalf of Mr Gene Paul. I have known Gene professionally since 2018 when he was the Quantity Surveyor involved in a number of restoration projects for Auckland Council and Panuku Development Auckland. I have found Gene to be a diligent and competent quantity surveyor who has been a great assistance in managing costs on complex projects. He has a calm, professional manner and develops good working relationships, which is essential in the construction industry.
Susie Wickham, Ormond Nurseries
Gene was very easy to work with, very practical and worked well with all parties involved to come to mutually agreed outcomes. It was a very stress and hassle free process and would highly recommend Build Projects for any commercial builds.
