Niche Reaffirms its Commitment to Sustainability with NZGBC Renewal

At Niche, sustainability forms the core of our work. We’ve just renewed our membership with the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC), recommitting our dedication to reducing environmental impact and delivering healthier, more efficient spaces. This partnership embodies our vision for a greener, more responsible construction industry.

One of the key ways we prioritize sustainability is through our offsite construction methodology, an approach with inherent environmental benefits. By fabricating 90% of each project in a controlled environment, offsite construction significantly reduces material waste, improves energy efficiency, and minimizes on-site disruptions. This method not only enhances precision and quality but also lowers the carbon footprint of our projects. It is a proven strategy that complements our broader commitment to drive change in the construction sector.

Our focus on offsite construction works hand in hand with our recycling strategies. By reusing and recycling essential materials like steel, timber, and plastic, we proactively address the need to conserve resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling doesn’t just reduce waste; it plays a vital role in combating climate change. By integrating recycling strategies with our offsite construction efforts, we minimize landfill contributions, slash emissions, and deliver a dual benefit of sustainability and innovation on every project.

Our NZGBC renewal underscores our long-term commitment to these opportunities. Offsite construction and resource recycling are woven into every project we undertake as part of our strategy to not only exceed industry standards but also to lead in climate-conscious construction. These approaches help us build structures that are not just functional and innovative but also sustainable and future-ready.
