Full Design & Installation for New Commercial Builds
Complete flooring design and installation for new commercial and industrial builds across Auckland and New Zealand, from concept through to handover.
Tailored Solutions from the Ground Up
Every new build has different operational demands, traffic levels, and design goals. We recommend and design the flooring system around your business, not the other way around.
End-to-End Project Delivery
From early consultation and product selection through to preparation, installation, and handover, our in-house team manages the full process, coordinating with your other trades to keep the build on schedule.
The Benefits of Full Design & Installation
Bringing Solid Floors in early on a new build pays off across the life of the project.
Right System From Day One
Choosing the correct flooring system at the design stage, whether polished concrete, resin, chemical resistant coatings, or waterproofing, avoids costly retrofits or compromises later.
Coordinated with Other Trades
We work alongside architects, builders, and project managers, scheduling flooring installation to fit smoothly around other trades and avoid damage to the finished floor.
Moisture Tested Substrates
New concrete slabs are tested for moisture and surface condition before flooring goes down, so the finished system performs as specified rather than failing prematurely.
Built for Business Needs
Floors are designed around how the space will actually be used, whether that’s heavy machinery, food production, retail foot traffic, or public access.
Single Point of Accountability
Managing design and installation under one contract means fewer handover gaps between trades and a single team accountable for the finished result.
Long-Term Performance
Because the system is specified correctly from the outset, new build floors are built to perform and look good for years, not just to pass final inspection.
Applications of Full Design & Installation
Our full design and installation service suits a wide range of new commercial and industrial builds.
Warehouses & Distribution Centres
Flooring specified for forklift traffic, heavy racking loads, and constant daily use from day one.
Retail & Commercial Fit-Outs
Polished concrete, resin, or decorative finishes designed into the build from the earliest stage of the fit-out.
Food Production & Processing Facilities
Hygienic, compliant flooring systems designed in from the start, so a new food facility is ready for certification from opening day.
Workshops & Service Centres
Flooring designed from the outset for oil, grease, and heavy equipment loads, giving vehicle service and repair workshops a surface that’s durable, easy to clean, and ready for business from day one.
Aviation & Hangar Facilities
Flooring specified for the scale, point loads, and compliance demands of aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities, built into the design of the build rather than retrofitted after handover.
Public & Civic Spaces
Durable, presentable flooring designed in from the start for stadiums, convention centres, and other public-facing new builds, balancing appearance with the demands of constant foot traffic.
