“To become a leader in advancing the New Zealand property industry towards design-led, better-built property product outcomes, while making our clients more successful in the process.”
Our Why
Architect Thomas has observed and experienced several challenges being faced in the property industry during his 12 years of professional experience in the architectural service industry. Some challenges are new while others remain historic. For instance:
Unfeasible Projects
No profit, no project. Greater contingencies paired with poor resilience throughout the property lifecycle.
Poor Quality Products
Properties not fit for purpose, nor of acceptable quality. People investing in sub-par assets that are impacting our environment and our health.
Inaccessible Market
Product demand not being met. Purchasing power continues to be neglected.
Unoriginal Design
Monotonous, repetitive place-making is in abundance. New fields of design and construction thinking being unveiled to the property market are rare, if not extinct.
Poor Processes
Property development is a complex business, requiring more specialists, resulting in more time and money being expended, leading to inefficient servicing of projects.
Fragmented Industry
Professionals continue to work in their own silos. This generates poor collaboration and co-ordination practices, compounded by upstream resource and material shortages during construction delivery.
“The demand for a novel, more intelligent service in the free market that helps navigate and negate these challenges is evident.”
The thinking that created these challenges is not going to solve these challenges: we need to rethink. Therefore, The Thinking Room was born.
