Fosters have achieved outstanding success at the Commercial Project Awards, with all six projects entered recognised on the national stage and seven awards secured by the Waikato and Bay of Plenty teams.
Run by the Registered Master Builders Association, the Commercial Project Awards are New Zealand’s leading recognition of excellence in commercial construction.

A standout achievement was the National Value Award for the Horotiu Office. Judges said the project showed “how thoughtful design and disciplined delivery can create a workplace that is both highly functional and deeply connected to its setting….
“Through strong coordination, smart value engineering, and minimal rework, the team maintained quality and programme certainty while managing complex detailing and multiple trades.”
Fosters Commercial Director Leonard Gardner said the results reflect the supportive network afforded to Fosters as one of the region’s strongest locally owned businesses.
“In a tough market, we’ve delivered six award-winning projects. Wins like this showcase the strength of regional business across both the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. It’s thanks to the unwavering commitment of our team to delivering value, with the backing of our strong local partners and supply chain, that we can achieve this level of excellence.
“We are also immensely grateful to our clients for putting these projects in our hands,” said Leonard. “We always appreciate the opportunity to shape and deliver the best outcomes for growing businesses.”
