About Slate

The Slate Story
Before Slate, Dan Prestidge led BuildtechNZ for over 25 years, evolving it into a trusted name in high-calibre residential and light commercial construction. Meanwhile, Nick Harrison directed fortyone ARCHITECTURE, a boutique design studio renowned for its creative, considered approach to residential design across the central North Island.
After collaborating on a series of bespoke homes, both teams recognised the strength of their combined expertise - architecture that inspired, paired with construction that delivered. This partnership transformed into a strategic merger, giving rise to a new kind of company: one that could manage every stage of a project with precision, creativity, and care.
Today, Slate Construction has evolved beyond that original merger. As a multi-disciplinary design and build construction firm, we continue to champion collaboration, working alongside architects, designers, and clients to create exceptional residential and commercial projects across the North Island.
Slate Construction, where great design meets exceptional construction.
Let's create brilliant together.
