Gavin Smith

Bachelor of Construction (Construction Management)

As Regional Manager for the Upper North Island, Gavin leads the pursuit and delivery of Brosnan’s more complex and challenging remediation, refurbishment, and restoration projects.

He is renowned for introducing and applying innovative approaches to construction challenges that minimise disruption and reduce project delivery times. For example, Gavin drove the development of a world-first, multi-storey suspended scaffold system for the Spencer on Byron remediation project, critical to maintaining the building’s operability during construction. His involvement in its development led to him being a finalist in the Innovations Category for the 2021 NZIOB Awards for his innovative work on the project.

Gavin quickly gains the trust and confidence of all project stakeholders through his sound planning and meticulous attention to detail. Gavin’s passion for achieving excellence in construction is driven by his first-hand Body Corporate experience that underpins an empathetic approach.

“Gavin led the team to successfully design, construct and install the hanging access system at the Spencer on Byron Hotel. Gavin quickly understood our concerns as a hotel operator and how the proposed works would affect our business.
Throughout the design, build, and delivery of the hanging access system, Gavin’s attention to detail was superb, but his ability to be approachable and willing to work together was what made the difference.
Gavin was great to work with, making what could have been an extremely challenging project uncomplicated and to the standard we required.”

- Greg Remmington, Director NZ Castle Resorts and Hotels
