Our Practices
Sustainability
N.Cole are building a better future by minimising the environmental impact of every project – and helping our clients to realise their sustainability potential.
We do this by:
- Recycling waste from our sites.
- Consistently upskilling our teams in the latest sustainable building innovations.
- Reducing project waste by streamlining the project design and delivery process.
- Using sustainable, energy saving materials to add value through the lifecycle of a building.
- Going above and beyond what’s required to comply with the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 14001:2004
- Environmental management systems standard.
Up to 40% of greenhouse gas emissions are from buildings, and construction sites often waste up to 30% of their materials. We’re committed to doing our bit to improve those numbers by building sustainability into everything we do.
Social impact
We ensure that all our projects and everything we do has a positive impact on our clients, our staff and the local community.
We do this by:
- Building positive relationships with everyone associated with our projects. Whether that’s the client, their architect or their next door neighbours.
- Building pathways into employment for those who lack the support or access.

Most importantly, N.Cole crafts buildings that enhance our local communities and environments, leaving clients with a quality asset that will last for generations.
Health and Safety
Here at N.Cole we believe that everyone has the right to work in a safe, healthy environment. To ensure every project provides that environment we employ a dedicated health and safety team to support our employees, subcontractors and clients.
To deliver industry-leading health and safety outcomes we:
- Fully embrace New Zealand’s latest Health & Safety at Work Act legislation.
- Comply with ISO 14001 Safety Management Systems & Governance.
- Have a membership with Site Safe New Zealand.
Our Director Blake Ingram also leads our health and safety committee and participates in H&S forums.
