IM — committed to quality IM Construction Labour Services Limited is making its mark through exceptional customer service and a commitment to quality. Founded in 2022 by Irene Kaitlyn Maiava, the Mangere-based labour hire company has quickly established itself as a reliable partner for construction, de-vanning and cleaning businesses across Auckland. "The relationships I develop with the clients set us apart. They become friends. It's all about the attitude and respect our staff have, ensuring we are providing our clients with the support they need for their businesses,” says Irene who launched the company after gaining experience as a manager in another firm and also previously worked in real estate sales. The company's commitment to excellence involves regular customer feedback and continuous refinement of its processes. It maintains a comprehensive database of employees, allowing it to match the right workers to each client's specific needs. Before placing any staff, it conducts thorough site visits to understand not only the job requirements but also the client's work culture and health and safety protocols. One of the company's significant partnerships is with McCore Group, where it provides labour for site cleaning, material handling and inspection cleaning. Irene says the relationship is a good example of its approach to client service, with staff becoming an integral part of the client's operations. Similar success can be seen in its work with ALH in devanning operations, and the company has developed a particularly strong relationship with Ming Development, Ockham Construction, Indelible homes, Kiwi Accommodations, YHC Homes, and Labour Supply, where it provides cleaning labour services and many more labour roles. It also subcontracts to other companies to provide support with labour work for their clients. "Feedback has indicated that we get the job done faster and the performance has been high. This is to do with how we train our team and this sets us apart and leads to us being recommended which has in turn led to company growth,” says Irene. As a Samoan woman in the construction industry, she says she has had to forge her own path. "It's all about attitude and the motivation to succeed. Of course every business has its challenges but it’s about taking that risks and growing from failures,” says Irene. "I have strong management and relationship building skills. We have a really efficient business model with a team that has an attitude of giving each job 100%. I look after our workers and this results in better performance for our clients,” explains Irene. The company's success is built on a foundation of comprehensive training and careful staff selection. Irene ensures that every team member meets exacting standards before being placed with clients. Its reputation for reliability and efficiency has led to steady growth through client referrals. Irene says IM Construction Labour Services is focused on maintaining its high standards while pursuing growth opportunities. "I have big dreams for my business: growth and continually improving the service we offer our customers as IM Construction Labour Services continues to expand its presence in the Auckland region.” 021 0281 3336 imlabourservices@gmail.com Proudly supporting McCore Group
