About us

Our story.

We breathe new life into interiors by delivering bespoke office, retail, and hospitality fit-outs. Our portfolio extends beyond aesthetics – we’re also adept at earthquake strengthening and handling light commercial projects.

Leaders in our field

McKay Lang holds professional memberships with the Certified Builders Association (CBANZ) and the New Zealand Retailers Association. Individuals within the company are also members of the NZ Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NZIQS), Quantity Surveyors Emerging Professionals (QSEP) and hold Licenced Building Practitioner (LBP) licenses. We are based in Christchurch and work across New Zealand.

Going above and beyond

When you choose McKay Lang, you’re choosing excellence, innovation and a commitment to creating spaces that inspire. We live by our mantra of ‘Truly, Client-Focused’ – we go over and above to ensure a successful and enjoyable project that exceeds everyone’s expectations. In short, we care as much about the final result as our clients do.

For every job, we pride ourselves on:

Transparent communication:

We update clients at every stage of a project. If unforeseen circumstances arise, you’ll be the first to know.

Delivering exceptional results:

We ensure timely delivery within your budget. Our deep experience and technical acumen helps ensure we deliver when we say we will.

Positive client experience:

Our success is built on great partnerships. We’re easy to work with – we show up on time, we treat every client with respect, and we clean up after ourselves!

Making it work:

We pull out all the stops to deliver projects in a way that works for the client. As part of this, our work programme can be tailored around a client’s trading hours, ensuring minimal disruption.

Working with us

While the majority of our work is negotiated, we do submit tenders at the request of our clients. Our team is experienced in the following forms of procurement:

Single-stage tenders:

We have recently undertaken main contractor tenders, tenders with client-nominated subcontractors and carpentry-only packages working for a construction manager.

Two-stage tenders:

We can complete significant pre-qualification documentation and then prepare a fully detailed competitive tender.

Negotiated work:

This open-book approach is the method we prefer. All information is provided to our client, with open and honest negotiation undertaken to arrive at the right price.
