CONTRACTING Ze Build In an industry where adaptability and proactive strategies make all the difference, Ze Build, a leader in high-quality construction services, is now driving forward with its subsidiary businesses, Ze Plumb, Ze Spark, and Ze Earthworks, ensuring they are not only integral to Ze Build projects but also available to the wider market. Company founder and director Zane Dykman had a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve when he started Ze Build in 2018. His work in the construction industry had shown him a gap in the market for a one-stop-shop building service, and he decided to be the one to provide it. As Ze Build grew, Zane brought in family and friends with the same passion for the construction industry and the relevant skills to get Ze Group off the ground. The group now provides employment to more than 100 builders, plumbers, electricians, and earthmovers, with experience ranging from fresh apprentices willing to learn to individuals with centuries of knowledge in each industry. In addition, there are specialist project managers, who provide expert knowledge to each project, whether it is a small renovation, a new architecturally designed home, or a large commercial development. Ze Build project manager Leesin Stockman says last year was a test for everyone in the construction industry, but Ze Build navigated it with a proactive approach. “We held on to our team and maintained strong relationships with our previous clients,” he says. “That approach has paid off, bringing in new clients and keeping our momentum going.” One of Ze Group’s major pushes for this year is increasing awareness of its subsidiary companies. “A lot of people assume Ze Plumb and Ze Spark only service Ze Build projects, but that’s not the case,” Leesin says. “These companies are separate entities, and they work with anyone and everyone.” With in-house teams operating in close proximity, scheduling and communication are seamless. “Having Seth from Ze Spark and Anthony from Ze Plumb mere metres away from me makes coordinating projects incredibly efficient. We engage with most of our clients from the outset of their projects, taking ideas to architects and working alongside them to make sure the design suits the allocated budget.” Ze Earthworks is also expanding its role within the Ze Group. Originally operating under a different name, the company has now been fully integrated into the group, providing earthmoving and cartage services for various construction projects, and allowing Ze Group to provide all the necessary trades for any building and renovation projects from in-house. Ze Build specialises in architectural builds, residential renovations and extensions, hard landscaping, and commercial construction, offering end-to-end project management to bring visions to life. Ze Spark delivers expert electrical services across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. As a team of highly qualified master electricians, they provide tailored solutions, emergency repair services, and quality installations across Auckland. Ze Plumb & Gas offers plumbing, gas fitting, and drainage services throughout Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast and North Shore. Their 24/7 emergency response team ensures swift assistance in critical situations, while their expertise in renovations and new builds ensures seamless service. Ze Earthworks provides excavation, site preparation, and cartage services, supporting construction projects across Auckland and beyond. Their experienced operators and extensive machinery fleet make them a reliable partner for projects of all sizes. While Ze Build is firmly focused on strengthening its current offerings, the company can see future opportunities in design, painting, and other construction-related services.
