Operating nationwide, Attika has a new, purpose-built head office in Timaru and dedicated staff based in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Gore. Attika’s project range includes warehouse and office facilities, large-format retail premises, and industrial workshops and showrooms. “Focusing on these specific types of projects and working across multiple regions allows us to build more depth and strength,” says Attika general manager Almanzo Boakes. “We have good people on the ground nationwide. A real focus for us as we look ahead is South Auckland, Waikato and Tauranga, where we’re seeking further growth.” Attika’s Auckland site manager is highly experienced on large-scale construction projects. “We already have a great team there and are looking to build that up even more. It’s an exciting time for us,” Almanzo says. Attika has full in-house design and structural capability, so all details are taken care of by one unified team. Attika’s close-knit team also includes QS and pre-construction specialists, who manage estimating, engineering and preliminary design. Potential risks are identified and addressed early to ensure projects stay on time, on budget and are done right. Members of Attika’s senior team include talented industry specialists like Jessica Wieldraayer (head of design), Craig Buist (commercial and procurement lead), and Henry Stuart (senior project manager), who bring many decades of experience to their respective roles. “That depth of understanding we bring to projects is a real strength,” says Almanzo. “Our clients know they can work directly with us on getting the building right for them. The added bonus we get from providing end-to-end building solutions is efficiency. For example, we source steel ourselves and have a really tight relationship with many key suppliers.” Attika’s integrated design-and-build approach is ideally suited to difficult projects where there are risks of cost escalation, for • Education • Commercial • Hospitality • Carpet Tiles • Vinyl • Autex 0800 867 028 | ModoCommercial.co.nz ARCHITECTURAL CLADDING OF ENDURING QUALITY We design, manufacture, and install aluminium, HPL, and fibre cement cladding systems for interior and exterior applications. 021 1976743 artisancs.co.nz LET'S DISCUSS YOUR NEXT PROJECT barclay@artisancs.co.nz example, due to challenging ground conditions, or tricky engineering challenges.

We match the right people to the project and deliver everything required, including bespoke architectural elements through to fit-out. When a large-scale flagship project is done 100% right, it becomes a real long-term legacy asset.”
