Q Construction Company Profile

COMPANY PROFILE
DORMA NZ,
HEAD OFFICE,
PATIKI RD
Core Values
Our Company Core values revolve around three key words that every action Q Construction takes must
measure up to. These words are: Integrity, Pride, and Enjoyment.
Integrity
Pride
Enjoyment
Our top level goal is always to
build with integrity by being
honest and open with our
clients, consultants & subcontractors. We recognise that
without a high level of trust, the
vital relationships that can make
or break a project will dissolve.
We instill in all our site staff
and management a sense of
self achievement and personal
responsibility to provide a feeling
of personal pride for each and
every person who works on
a Q Construction project. It’s
personal pride in a job well
done, whatever the task.
We understand that each
stakeholder in a project has
a job to do. However we also
know that if people enjoy what
they do, they’ll be happier,
healthier and achieve more.
For most of us, work is a big part
of life and life is for enjoying.
That’s why at Q Construction
we always do our best to make
every job enjoyable, so all who
work with us will have a good
time doing it.
These three core values are a reflection of the good old fashioned values of hard work & trust which
we have based our business on. When we add in our combined experience, careful planning, and a
‘can-do’ attitude, we believe we have created a very strong and appealing business model. This is the
reason why, we at Q Construction, now have a sound base of repeat clients that know and trust our
company, and enjoy the building process with us.

they bring to the Construction Process, and excel at the core
objectives of any construction project – quickly understanding the
vision for the project and the way the many unique parts come

COOLSTORES,
WHANGAREI
In my dealings with Q, I have found them to be professional at all times, with a genuine desire to
deliver high quality workmanship and to meet client imposed deadlines. They have proved easy
to work with as a client, but equally, have conveyed the impression that all sub-trades are held to
account and expected to meet the same high standards expected of Q Construction staff.
