Colliers Project Leaders: raising the safety bar since 2018

Colliers Project Leaders manages property and development projects for clients across New Zealand and wanted its health and safety to match the standards it promises them. Advanced Safety has worked alongside the team since 2018, when the business was still Greenstone Group, building the system, checking it on site and keeping it moving.

The challenge

Safety that matches what clients are promised

Colliers Project Leaders gives clients advice and leadership through a project's whole life, from feasibility to completion, across tenancy coordination, seismic strengthening, procurement and programme management. Its clients expect safety to be managed as carefully as cost, quality and programme, on every project in every region. The work had to deliver:

  • Independent confirmation that the system really met the standard CPL promises its clients
  • One framework that works on every project nationwide and still fits local risks
  • Project managers, tenancy coordinators and contractors owning health and safety day to day
  • Advice that turns into change on site, not reports that sit on a shelf

Health and safety treated as a project deliverable, alongside cost, quality and programme.

What Advanced Safety did

Diagnose, design, sustain

DIAGNOSE

Compliance Compass

Matt started with a Compliance Compass covering the documents, interviews, site inspections and an engagement survey, ending in a clear action plan. Time went in up front to understand how CPL runs its projects so the advice fitted its culture and methods.

DESIGN

System, inspections and training

Advanced Safety built an ISO 45001-aligned system and set up a project-by-project inspection regime that holds a minimum standard while fitting each job. Workshops and e-learning trained the team and helped CPL become a recognised RICS professional development provider.

SUSTAIN

Ongoing support

The work carries on as ongoing health and safety support, with regular advice, project inspections and training that keep the system working as the business grows.

The result

What CPL has now

  • An ISO 45001-aligned health and safety system used across its projects nationwide
  • A project inspection regime that managers and clients can rely on
  • Recognition as a RICS professional development provider, built on Advanced Safety's workshops and e-learning
  • Tōtika prequalification
  • Executive feedback that the business now takes health and safety more seriously

"Matt at Advanced Safety has raised the Health and Safety bar for Colliers Project Leaders."

The service behind this result

Governance Advisory

CPL's results came from years of steady support, not a one-off report. Governance Advisory is how Advanced Safety offers that support now, from $3,000 + GST a month.
