The Slate Experience

Slate's project experience is an engaging, immersive journey through great architecture and detailed construction. A collaborative process where exceptional homes and spaces are designed, detailed and delivered using four distinct principles and disciplines.

Discovery

The success of every Slate project centres around a comprehensive and shared understanding of its fundamental intent, purpose and guiding principles. Through close, honest and candid collaboration, we work together to establish a project ‘North-star’ that guides us to the creation of the final product.

Empathic Design

Striking, progressive yet permanent. Our design is the synthesis of many disparate ideas into a thoughtful whole. The way we arrive at the final design is the result of creative, open and empathetic collaboration, leading to a product grounded in restraint and simplicity, while exuding balance and beauty.

Collaborative Value Engineering

A product of the unique synergy created by Slate's cross-functional ethos, we use collaborative value engineering to efficiently deliver our creative, innovative projects with cost certainty and to the highest quality standard.

Construction Management

Craftsmanship, capability and detail. With 25+ years history of delivering high-calibre construction projects across the North Island, Slate Construction has developed a unique project management methodology with one focus – to improve the innovation and realisation of great architecture.
