Fifty years of building excellence

Based in Nelson Tasman and with teams in Marlborough and Queenstown-Lakes, Scott Construction has delivered many of the region’s cornerstone building projects, along with a large volume of commercial, civil and residential projects over 50 years.


Our vision

Buildings that make all the difference - to the people that use them and their environment.

Our mission

We do what it takes to design and build best-in-class buildings.

Our values

We believe that our values are our point of difference and a key element in the success of our projects – when working with us you can expect the following:

  • Communication – we respect lines of communication and ensure all parties are aware of what they need to do and when.

  • Partnerships – we value, respect and invest in relationships at every level. Delivering the project requires all parties to work together as part of the team from Client, Consultants, Contractor and Subcontractors.

  • Trust – we understand the importance of being open and honest to provide transparency throughout the construction process.

  • Innovation – we strive to be problem solving and solution based to ensure the best outcome for the project – we have a diverse team that brings a variety of experiences on which to draw ideas and solutions.

  • Passion – we care about what we do, we strive to be the best and meet the highest standards.

  • Enjoyment – we enjoy challenges and are proud of our skills and success – we have a great team of people who take pride in their work and in the company, who want the projects to succeed.

Our Approach

Scott Construction has a robust project management system and refined project controls that consistently deliver high-quality outcomes in accordance with client requirements.

Scott Construction is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all staff, visitors, contractors and clients. We maintain a number of robust ‘pre-qualifications’ and accreditations including various local councils, ISN, IMPAC and Site Safe; meaning that our framework for managing Health & Safety is constantly undergoing review and improvement.

With Construction and Demolition waste making up 40-50% of New Zealand’s landfill, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. One of the biggest impacts we can have as a construction contractor is to minimise waste; we are achieving this through strong partnerships with local waste management contractors and a range of supporting initiatives including site-specific waste management plans, staff and subcontractor education, design collaboration and procurement policies. A number of our staff are Greenstar Accredited.

Scott Construction is a proud partner of New Zealand Construction Alliance (NZCA). NZCA is an alliance of like-minded regionally-based commercial construction companies providing New Zealand-wide commercial construction solutions. A unique benefit NZCA offers is the ability to gain and share knowledge openly between it’s partners

A nationwide team providing a diverse network of construction experts that work together to deliver outstanding construction projects across New Zealand at a local level.
