Our team is thoroughly familiar with Christchurch’s specific earthquake-related building codes and the New Building Standard (NBS) requirements. We work closely with structural engineers who understand the local geology and can recommend appropriate solutions for different areas of Christchurch, from the CBD to the suburbs. Our renovation approach always prioritizes structural integrity and safety while delivering spaces that are functional and aesthetically pleasing.
For commercial renovations in Christchurch’s high-traffic retail districts, we implement a carefully orchestrated approach to minimize business interruption:
- Detailed pre-renovation planning with clear timelines and milestones
- Temporary façade solutions that maintain your brand presence during renovations
- After-hours work scheduling for particularly disruptive phases
- Sectional renovation approaches that allow partial operation where possible
- Clear signage and alternative access planning to maintain customer flow

Client Testimonial
1. Bring my building to 67% NBS or better by structurally strengthening various areas that were identified by independent Engineers appointed by Fitz Consulting.
2. Bring my building up to the current building code standards of fire systems, disabled accessibility, and other compliance-related items as required by the local authority.
3. Assist the tenant and me with a modernized fit-out where the costs were to be apportioned between both parties.
Paul and his team helped me from the concept and design phase all the way through to code of compliance certification. Along the way, we made changes that required variations and Fitz Consulting incorporated all the changes into the existing schedule without any delay of the timeline at all. I now have a long-term tenant who is happy with their new workspace and I would recommend Fitz Consulting to anyone needing assistance and any work done to their commercial building."
