Hi-Tec Property Developments Following an extensive background in the construction industry, in 2017 Steve Palmer recognised that that the time was right to form his own construction business with a vision to improve the quality of high-end architectural builds in the Auckland region. Located in East Tamaki, the foundation of Hi-Tec Property Developments was perfectly timed to meet the growing need for social housing, which has become a core focus of the business, contracting to well established companies like the multi-disciplinary ICONIQ Group. While Hi-Tec Property Development’s primary geographic reach remains the wider Auckland region, the company is now expanding that reach to include Gisborne, Whangarei and beyond. From small to multi-million dollar projects, be it commercial or residential, Hi-Tec’s highly motivated and professional sta excel at building projects of every scale and type, delivering projects of all sizes and speci ications. “Our projects range anywhere from a single standalone home on a section to high-density multi-plex developments that might have forty to sixty units in one subdivision, or ninety lot apartment blocks,” says Ryan Immers, the company’s General Manager. “We have proven ourselves to deliver high quality projects on time, on budget and with a very good work ethic, which has resulted in more and more work throughout the region and beyond. We often get involved in the early design stage of projects, enabling us to o er our construction experience to help speed up project delivery.” Over the seven years that Hi-Tec Property Developments has been operating it has grown from a team of 10 to now a team of 45 sta that includes a construction manager, three project manages, foremen, leading hands, carpenters and labourers and apprentice carpenters studying towards gaining their BCITO quali ication. “The majority of our quali ied builders have been with us for ive plus years,” says Ryan. “Over the seven years, we’ve employed and trained a signi icant number of apprentice carpenters and currently have about twenty on our books, ranging from irst year apprentices to apprentices who have almost completed their time. Because Hi-Tec Property Developments is involved in construction projects from the early foundation stage, right through to the completion of the structure, they develop a real depth of knowledge about the whole development process. We have thirty plus years in all aspects of construction with machinery and skilled operators to allow us to cover civil, concrete and all aspects of construction builds.” Managing Director Steve Palmer adds that the people, the team culture and the strong work ethic have all contributed to the company’s successful growth. “It’s a very good company to become part of and progress into more responsibility and management. Development doesn’t just stop when you get quali ied. Ryan commenced with the business as an apprentice, and has progressed into the role of General Manager, running the business. Our Construction Manager, is another one who has come right through Hi-Tec and is now across multiple sites, as have our project managers. Building relationships is the other cornerstone of our success, and we go out of our way to ensure those relationships remain healthy. We don’t advertise for work at all, people come to us through word of mouth and repeat business.” Hi-Tec Property and Developments Limited are a New Zealand owned company, with our office in East Tamaki, offering Build, Design, Renovation/Extension and Project Management Services nationwide.
