78 | Signature Construction T T Richard Loader Social housing spurs company’s growth DEVELOPMENT T T to page 80 Building enduring relationships, being humble, and supporting the client to realise their development dream, have been the bedrock of success for large-scale builder Signature Construction Ltd (SCL), says director and CEO Gareth Ready. “Our ethos and behaviour is that it’s a privilege, not a right, to be invited as a guest to the development table and to have the opportunity to help enable the successful completion of a project,” Gareth says. “There’s the delicate dance of understanding what the site is telling you from a cost perspective, a risk and implication perspective, as well as understanding the clients’ driver and what they’re trying to accomplish. Balancing those elements so that their vision can be achieved is the key, and we do that again and again.” While SCL was formally born five years ago, its journey began a decade ago when Signature Homes’ original franchise, Signature Residential, was presented with an opportunity to build large-scale social housing for Housing New Zealand, now Kāinga Ora. With the growth and demand of the market, it eventually made sense to become independent from Signature Residential, establishing SCL as a leading Auckland housing developer, while continuing to be part of the wider Signature Homes Group of franchised building businesses.
