COMPANY PROFILE
DORMA NZ,
HEAD OFFICE,
PATIKI RD
Core Values
Our Company Core values revolve around three key words that every action Q Construction takes must
measure up to. These words are: Integrity, Pride, and Enjoyment.
Integrity
Pride
Enjoyment
Our top level goal is always to
build with integrity by being
honest and open with our
clients, consultants & subcontractors. We recognise that
without a high level of trust, the
vital relationships that can make
or break a project will dissolve.
We instill in all our site staff
and management a sense of
self achievement and personal
responsibility to provide a feeling
of personal pride for each and
every person who works on
a Q Construction project. It’s
personal pride in a job well
done, whatever the task.
We understand that each
stakeholder in a project has
a job to do. However we also
know that if people enjoy what
they do, they’ll be happier,
healthier and achieve more.
For most of us, work is a big part
of life and life is for enjoying.
That’s why at Q Construction
we always do our best to make
every job enjoyable, so all who
work with us will have a good
time doing it.
These three core values are a reflection of the good old fashioned values of hard work & trust which
we have based our business on. When we add in our combined experience, careful planning, and a
‘can-do’ attitude, we believe we have created a very strong and appealing business model. This is the
reason why, we at Q Construction, now have a sound base of repeat clients that know and trust our
company, and enjoy the building process with us.

In my dealings with Q, I have found them to be professional at all times, with a genuine desire to
deliver high quality workmanship and to meet client imposed deadlines. They have proved easy
to work with as a client, but equally, have conveyed the impression that all sub-trades are held to
account and expected to meet the same high standards expected of Q Construction staff.
