The Client:
Colliers Project Leaders
Colliers Project Leaders are experts in project and development management. They provide clients with advocacy and strategic advice throughout a project’s lifecycle, from feasibility studies to successful completion.
With specialist skills in tenancy coordination, seismic strengthening, procurement, and programme management, CPL deliver projects of all scales across New Zealand.
The Challenges
Assuring Colliers Project Leaders’ High Standards
Colliers Project Leaders wanted independent confirmation that its health‑and‑safety systems genuinely met the exacting benchmarks it promises to blue‑chip property and infrastructure clients.
Consistency Across a Nationwide Project Portfolio
From Auckland CBD tower refurbishments to regional infrastructure upgrades, the team needed one robust framework that could flex to local risk profiles yet deliver uniform, auditable performance everywhere.
Deepening Engagement Across Internal Teams and Supply Chain
Project managers, tenancy coordinators, and contractor crews had to see health and safety as a core project deliverable—on a par with cost, quality, and programme - so building genuine day‑to‑day ownership was essential.
Closing Gaps Left by Previous Consultancy Support
Earlier advisers produced lengthy reports but little field‑level change. Colliers Project Leaders required guidance aligned with its project‑management methodology - action‑oriented, supply‑chain‑aware, and capable of delivering measurable, lasting improvements that withstand client and regulator scrutiny.
