Commercial Case Studies
Planning and Delivering Commercial Projects
CM-NZ has supported commercial projects across New Zealand. Our work includes retail developments, industrial facilities, earthquake strengthening and purpose-built community buildings.
Each project presented different challenges around costs, procurement, contracts and operational requirements. These case studies show how our team worked with clients, consultants and contractors to deliver practical commercial outcomes.

“Paul’s experience in the industry and attention to detail resulted in a settlement thousands of dollars more than we were initially offered. His professionalism, great communication and industry knowledge guided us through the tricky process, allowing us to make informed decisions. We would highly recommend Pauls services to anyone negotiating what can be a confronting and complicated system.”
I use Paul regularly, he has extensive building knowledge and know how, he managed to save us thousands on our last building project. I found him to be very thorough, transparent and upfront.
“High level of communication and administrative process skills throughout the construction phase. Preparing progress claims and providing detailed costs for work executed and for proposed works through variation pricing, preparing and presenting cost fluctuations as required, preparing and presenting time extension claims Evaluate progress claims and providing detailed breakdowns of cost Adjust included sums in accordance with contract documentation Collect and present post-contract ancillary documentation including reports from suppliers and subcontractors.”
“Our experience working with CM was excellent. Consultation and communication were clear and consistent throughout the process, and every stage of the development project was handled with professionalism. Steve Scott ensured that everything was kept on track, resolved any potential issues quickly, and made the whole process far less onerous than was expected. We are very pleased with the final result and would not hesitate to engage Steve and CM again in the future.”
“Steve managed the project on our behalf very well and kept the project pretty much on budget and on time. His knowledge of the building practices and the consents process were a valuable input into assessing and approving changes and variations.”
“I would highly recommend Paul Belcher and CM-New Zealand Limited. We were referred to Paul from McBride Construction, who we approached for EQC on-sold work. We are really appreciative to Paul and his team, as without his input, we feel this process would be all consuming and overwhelming “
“I use Paul regularly, he has extensive building knowledge and know how, he managed to save us thousands on our last building project, I found him to be very thorough, transparent and up front.”
“I can’t speak more highly of Paul Belcher and the service he provided to my wife and I. He thoroughly inspected our property, identified the issues requiring remediation, arranged for a full range of quotes from the relevant trades, produced a comprehensive and detailed report in support of our claim, and liaised with EQC on our behalf as they processed our claim. The information that Paul provided to EQC on our behalf was professional and compelling and resulted in our claim being accepted and processed quickly. I thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone wishing to file a claim with EQC.”
