“Edifice worked in a collaborative and open manner throughout the duration of the works and were flexible in their approach in working through challenges and achieving consent requirements at the site.”

“Edifice were the lead Contractor on the $1.4M Water of Leith Bridge in Dunedin. Edifice’s team completed this project to the highest standard to deliver a impressive and stunningly detailed bridge for Dunedin City.

I performed the role of Client Project Manager on behalf of Dunedin City Council as an external consultant, and based on my experience working with Edifice I am happy to recommend them for the construction of cycle and pedestrian bridges in NZ. In particular I was impressed with Walter and his team on the ground for their commitment to delivering this Project and their strong attention to detail.”
