OUR VALUES
& culture
With meaningful connection and engagement, great things can happen.
Knowledge and values are important to our business, guiding the work we do and how we go about it. An understanding of Tikanga Māori and the 3 principals of Te Tiriti o Waitangi – partnership, participation and protection – lead our approach to project work and inform our business practice. Manaakitanga (respect and generosity, care and reciprocity) together with an understanding the cultural, social, economic and environmental interests on projects, guide the solutions we provide.
Our core values are:
- Making it happen
- Empowering ownership
- Growing great people
- Embracing innovation
Our culture is guided by six principles:
An integrated and collaborative consultancy, working together with collective action, supporting the people and communities we work with.
We leverage the specialist skill and knowledge base across our teams to seamlessly find intelligent solutions to the problems our clients need solved. We save our clients time, money and administrative headaches and build trust between consultant and client teams.
BTW recognises that all parties seek to improve their current position when engaging on a project.
We empower owners with comprehensive project insights that inform decision making, protect your asset and investment and provide a clear transition pathway.
True value comes from understanding your starting point before embarking on projects that will cost time and money. We recognise the need for all parties to acknowledge and understand the diverse interests of a project upfront.
An ongoing commitment to learning, continuous improvement, growth and investment in technology.
At BTW, innovation is defined by seeking opportunities and embracing technology in the delivery of smart solutions. Maintaining our position as a leader in technology driven solutions is a core strength of our business and is achieved through investing in the latest instrumentation, software and hardware, the development of our unique project and land management systems and the continued training of our professionals.
We recognise that a diverse and inclusive work place that fosters creativity, innovation and sharing of knowledge ensures best practice, broad capability and strength in delivery for projects.
Being collaborative within our practice, and wider with consultant groups as required, provides a competitive advantage and a productive team, as well as improved problem solving and decision making for our business and for our clients.
Sustainability and an intergenerational approach to protecting what matters.
BTW is proud to have a rich history and strong connection with Taranaki and Waikato communities, and relationships with local iwi at both project and business levels.
We’re passionate about the places we support, the people we work with and the communities that benefit from the services we provide.
Delivering smart solutions is made possible with a commitment to, and continual investment in smart tools and systems. BTW operates under robust and certified Quality Management and HSE systems and within a culture which recognises these as a core component of our business.
BTW document all engagement records and correspondence to provide transparency. By pairing intelligence with innovation, we map the environment and the experience for our clients, so they can enjoy a better process and outcome.
