Women in Property Hamilton | Build it better: the design and build playbook

August 19 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

NZ$65.00

Design and Build is reshaping how New Zealand builds — faster programmes, smarter collaboration, and better outcomes for clients. But what does it actually take to get it right?

 

Join us for a lively lunchtime panel with four women at the sharp end of design and build delivery. They’ll share the real stories — the wins, the lessons, and the things they wish they’d known — from some of New Zealand’s most complex projects.

 

Whether you’re deep in the industry or just getting started, this is your chance to hear from the people who’ve been in the room where it happens and to connect with like-minded women shaping our built environment.

 

What’s on the table:

 🍽️ the evolution of design and build in New Zealand
 🍽️ early engagement and getting the brief right
 🍽️ building strong client, consultant, and contractor relationships
 🍽️ managing risk, cost, and value
 🍽️ maintaining design quality while driving innovation
 🍽️ procurement strategies in today’s market
 🍽️ lessons learned — and what’s next

 

Meet the panel:

 👷‍♀️ Sarah Livingstone, GM – Pre-Construction and Design, Livingstone Building New Zealand

 👷‍♀️ Olivia Pearson, New Business Manager – North, Hawkins
 👷‍♀️ Miko Brouwer, Associate Director – Northern Lead, RDT Pacific
 👷‍♀️ Sarah Wootton, Senior Project Manager and Waikato Manager, Pragmatix

 

Facilitated by:
 🎤 Jane Hill, Senior Principal – Registered Architect, Chow:Hill Architects
