Company Accountant

When 505 Construction sought a smart accountant with fresh energy, we found Isaac and shipped him up to the big smoke from the sunny shores of Nelson.
As anticipated, Isaac quickly impressed with his ridiculously efficient abilities in building spreadsheets and analysing every number possible. Isaac is motivated to learn all aspects of construction and property finances, he thrives off new challenges and is triumphant when he smashes his goals.
Isaac's management of 505's financial health will ensure our business continues to prosper and reassures our clients that 505 Construction is not going anywhere soon. And his cheeky disposition is a little ray of sunshine in our office!

When 505 required an experienced site manager, specialising in luxury residential construction and with exceptional attention to detail - we knew where to look and introduced Richard to our team.
Richard’s in depth understanding of architectural plans and ability to conceptualise efficient construction methods is indispensable on site. He is quick to pick a pencil and sketch through solutions with the architect, and communicates all elements in a way any client can comprehend.
Not one to get lost in paperwork, Richard balances his management requirements beautifully with getting on the tools and is always seen with his toolbelt on. As he says himself “Moe atu nga ringa raupo” (Marry a man with calloused hands).
