Property projects

You’ll need to do some planning before your school-led property project can get underway.

If your school wants to use board funding or community funding for a property project, you need to apply to us for consent first.

If you need a professional project manager for your school property project, you must follow our procurement process.

Get guidance on how to complete a procurement process for your school-led property project.

Find out about our contracts and insurance requirements for both school-led and NZSPA-led property projects.

After we formally approve the project, construction can begin. You’ll need to manage safety, project finances, and any contract variations.

Before closing a project, the project manager must do a final inspection, get council sign-off and submit closing paperwork to us.
