OUR STORY

McKenzie & Co. Developing great places and people.

We see a future where better environments create great places for people to grow.

OUR WHY

At McKenzie & Co., we love land and transforming land into opportunity. It goes beyond building structures for us, it’s about shaping spaces that foster growth, connection, and sustainability for the present, and future generations.

Our human-first approach applies to both how we work together with teams and stakeholders – you’ll find the Directors getting involved in projects too. We’re a collective of dynamic and diverse experts who will grow and adapt with you throughout the development process.

The people (tāngata) who live, work, and play within these places are also front of mind when creating new thriving environments.

It doesn’t stop there – operating on a Quadruple Bottom Line (QBL) means we place importance and actively seek to positively impact four key dimensions in business: our people, profit, planet, and purpose.

We see each project as an opportunity to build a sustainable future with a more holistic lens – drawing on our proven skills, understanding of today’s changing whenua (land), and whakaaro (thinking).

Together, we can transform land into lasting value that serves businesses and communities of Aotearoa.

When done right, these environments can create great places where people can grow to their full potential.

OUR DIRECTORS

OUR STORY

Established in 2014, McKenzie & Co. was founded on a passion for quality design. We wanted to develop great places that people would love, and we were driven to ensure that we built excellent working relationships with key stakeholders along the way.

As well as a desire for superior design, we also aspired to offer a great work culture for a new and progressive team. We knew we would be working hard to achieve outstanding results, but we wanted to have fun along the way.

Since our inception, the business has fast become a centre of excellence for land development solutions. With every project we take on, we use masterful planning, expert engineering and experienced management to maximise land value and deliver on time.

We become part of your team and treat your project as if it’s our own. We’re completely invested in the outcome of every project.

We’re led by three of the best in the business. Our founder Clayton McKenzie (a land development specialist and industry stalwart), has been a Director of the business since its origin, along with experienced engineer James Kitchen. James Dufty, also a veteran civil engineer, joined shortly after the business began and was appointed as a Director in 2021.

Expanding rapidly from the outset, we now proudly boast a workforce of 80 highly qualified and experienced development advisors, project managers, engineers, surveyors, planners and support staff across the country.

With office hubs in Auckland City, Manukau and Taupo as well as satellite offices in Warkworth and Rotorua, we’ve got you covered.

We’re looking forward to making our mark on the future landscapes of New Zealand in a way that maximises investments as well as lifestyles.
