We at Maxim are recognised for our skill and experience across a wide range of development and construction sectors. From inception, the hands-on approach of our founding directors has shaped the culture that has evolved into the multi-faceted business that Maxim is today.

Essentially, we present a simple proposition for a difficult process.

We concentrate our business on property and land based projects and have earned a reputation as one of the leaders of New Zealand’s new generation of design build construction companies. We pride ourselves on timely completion within a ‘best practice’ working environment.

Maxim takes a proactive role in the management and practical application of environmentally friendly and sustainable work practices, for every project.

Our benchmark for judging success is the high number of building contracts we win tenders for, which includes significant repeat business.

Good design is crucial: architecture and landscape must work together to assist and enhance human response to the living environment. We incorporate principles of responsible development and construction such as environmentally sensitive designs and specifications, a focus on healthy living environments, energy-efficient systems and products, ethical practices, and flexible, responsive building techniques to ensure that the needs of different users are catered for over the lifetime of the dwelling.

Our partners are focused on creating opportunities, environments and spaces that are responsible, responsive, good value, and low risk. Our projects are elegant, transparent, reliable, secure, and value driven. Efficiency is a byword to drive our thought processes and actions.People’s lives are influenced by our brands; they live in environments created by them, immerse themselves in them, rely on them, and are kept safe by them.
