Safety is our priority
Safety is a non-negotiable part of the way we work. We believe work-related injury and illness are preventable, so we’re proactive - to identify potential risk, and manage it, before it arises.
Our approach is highlighted through our accreditations.
“We greatly appreciate the professionalism and the integrity around safety that the AEC staff showed during a very condensed work program.”

We're results-focused
One of the biggest contributors to project success is ensuring everyone’s on the same page.
We understand the dynamics of working with other parties. Collaboration and coordination is vital - something that can only be achieved with clear lines of communication and detailed planning.
Our philosophy: be upfront and communicate in a way that everyone understands what is happening, and why.
“The Tauriko plant and equipment install… involved a global pandemic and national skilled labour shortage that CMS took in their stride and worked through.”

We create value
We create efficiencies
Fewer suppliers, less admin - we’re one point of contact for multiple services (machining, fabrication, installation, construction, blasting, coating, maintenance)
We avoid multiple margins from multiple suppliers
Our combined resources provide access to workshop capability and skilled labour when needed
We’re experts at removing design complexity and inefficiencies to create plans that are focused on constructability
Early engagement helps us optimise designs for efficient installation and construction
Early contractor involvement
Our most successful outcomes have been on projects when we’ve been engaged early. Through Early Contractor Involvement we’ve been able to identify and establish significant logistical and financial efficiencies.
