THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION

IN NEW ZEALAND

PLATFORM HOMES. WHERE EXCELLENCE IS BUILT.

Platform Homes is a leading national construction firm; established to deliver large-scale projects by activating its workforce across multiple trade disciplines.

Platform Homes provides services from Stewart Island to Cape Reinga, with offices and a trade workforce spanning New Zealand. This allows us to quickly adapt to market changes and provides a baseline for steady growth, offering both our clients and workforce a high level of security and continuity.

OUR TEAM: GROWING WITH GLOBAL EXPERTISE

Platform Homes isn't just growing in numbers; we're growing in expertise. With over 400 talented workers already on board, and over 300 more in the immigration pipeline, we anticipate our workforce to surge past 750 personnel by the third quarter of 2023. This growth fuels our ability to meet and exceed your expectations, no matter the scope or scale of your project.

SUBCONTRACTING

From Tender to Handover, we subcontract to Main Contractors, removing the worry about whether the subcontractor can resource the job.

We have the ability to price:

• Full Carpentry Packages

• Roofing Packages

• Electrical Packages

• Interiors

We are looking to add Concrete, Plumbing & Drainage in 2024.

This “Super Sub” Model means that we can be a lower-risk option (who is your one-stop shop) with the ultimate goal of your project being completed on time and to the standard your client expects.

The difference? You have one phone call to make, covering the majority of facets, risks, and contractors for your projects, both before and during the project. This may seem minimal, but for those in the know, these elements are crucial. They represent the primary challenges for a main contractor and are often the source of significant headaches.

OUTSOURCING

This is where we share our Trade workforce on both short-term and long-term jobs with our partnered companies on a 'per hour' basis. Long story short – we got sick and tired of overpaying labour-hire companies that often over-promise and under-deliver, usually managed by teams with little practical experience in the field.

We identified this as a critical area needing improvement in the construction industry: a reliable player to step into this space and prioritise 'Tradies Helping Tradies,' without burdening the tradesmen or enriching intermediaries.

Our entire workforce is on full-time contracts. When we can't find suitable professionals in New Zealand, we also source this workforce internationally. Approximately 50% of our workforce has been sourced internationally to ensure we meet our client's requirements while upholding the standard we stand by.

We have grown from less than 100 employees in 2020 to over 500 in 3 years, servicing over 250 partners Nationwide.

The growth of the trade workforce is in direct response to market dynamics and client demand considering the unpredictability of labour availability and more so the quality of the labour available.

We massively believe in investing in the development of our people – Our in-house dedicated training team supports close to 100 apprentices and supervisors through their training journey.

We also have a full in-house, specialized Pastoral Care management of all international arrivals; with support all the way from airport departure to helping them settle in New Zealand.

OWN DEVELOPMENTS

Originally this was Platforms’ bread and butter – and whilst we still complete roughly 50 homes a year, we are excited to announce that in 2024 we will be putting the “Homes” back into Platform Homes.

WHY PLATFORM HOMES

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

We have grown from fewer than 100 employees in 2020 to over 500 in just three years, servicing more than 250 partners nationwide.

The expansion of our trade workforce is a direct response to market dynamics and client demand, taking into account the unpredictability and, particularly, the quality of available labour.

We firmly believe in investing in the development of our staff. Our dedicated in-house training team supports nearly 100 apprentices and supervisors throughout their training journey.

Additionally, we offer comprehensive, specialised pastoral care for all our employees, providing support to all international arrivals from airport departure to helping them settle in New Zealand, to mentoring and pastoral care of all our apprentices to regular check ins and support of all our workers.
