Other current projects for NME include the Blue Mountains Campus in Upper Hutt and Wellington’s new convention centre, where NME is on site as the project’s specialist mechanical contractor. NME is also the premier mechanical contractor for a new 13-storey office building at 1 Whitmore Street in Wellington that will be tenanted by the BNZ. NME has developed strong local partnerships with leading construction companies and through this has built an extensive track record of success in the region over the past two decades. As well as being a trusted electrical and mechanical contractor on new commercial buildings, NME operates a busy maintenance schedule. “We do a lot of commercial office buildings in town, mainly involving maintenance and checks of electrical systems, emergency lighting and HVAC. We’re doing that sort of work all the time and have 12 to 15 guys on that alone.” NME enjoys having good support from the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce and its CEO Patrick McKibbin. With encouragement from the Chamber of Commerce, NME has been proactively working alongside schools to give senior students work experience and opportunities to progress to apprenticeships.
