About

CDM started as a turn-key interior fit-out construction and design company in 1987. We have never looked back.

When it comes to creating commercial spaces, we’re the experts. We pride ourselves on creating superior working spaces that are modern and functional.

There are other design and construction companies, but no other company provides the full turn-key solution that we do.

CDM works with some of New Zealand’s best-known clients to deliver high-quality design, joinery and construction, project management, budget control and much more.

With over 35 years’ experience, we know exactly what it takes to seamlessly fit out commercial buildings, on budget and on time.

Our reputation has seen our company grow to include new builds and larger construction projects. We have built a powerful team of specialists who have large-scale construction project expertise.

From beginning to end, we cover all the bases.

Testimonials

"Starting a new dental practice from scratch was quite daunting – there was a lot that I did not know about a clinic fitout, but I am so glad that I chose CDM to help from the very beginning. From the design process right through to delivery of the keys; Hayden, Tim & the team were lovely to work with. They were always approachable and great at communicating throughout the process, keeping me at ease during what could have been stressful times. The result is amazing, we have a beautiful clinic that everyone comments on and I love working in. Highly recommend CDM!" 

Ngareka Bensemann, Principal Dentist - Marsden Cove Dental

"It all started with all of us sitting around a table and CDM trying to get an understanding of what our needs were and also letting me know what was in and out of scope. Our meetings were constructive and we ended up with a floorplan that was acceptable to all parties with little fuss. The next step was to go over the costs which were approved without any delays. Tim, the project manager was outstanding throughout but I was taken aback at the extent of  support offered with our move to the temporary office. Building went well and the site was professional and tidy and importantly on budget and on time. An absolute pleasure. All in all I can't thank you enough and would highly recommend CDM to anyone wanting a professional job done on time by good people."

Steve Maserow , Branch Manager - Barfoot & Thompson Howick

"Like anything in business, the key for fit-out and renovating to me is on time and on budget. When I started the fit-out for Browns Bay Dental Centre, CDM came highly recommended through a colleague and they delivered not just that but much more. As a dental professional, I don’t recommend people doing DIY dentistry on their teeth. Being a novice for building and renovating, why not let the professionals build and manage the project for you, From practice design, resource consent, medical/dental fit-out, to specific design related to plumbing, waste and electrical, CDM have all the right knowledge and skills for the job. The most satisfying aspect to me is the fit-out finished on time and on budget. If anyone endeavors to start a fit-out project, I highly recommend that you have a chat with the team at CDM."

Bob Yang - Browns Bay Dental Centre

"My Branch was approved to be rebuilt and fully refurbished and once again the team at CDM were Barfoot & Thompson's chosen contractors to undertake this 12 month rebuild project which involved a complete rebuilding, structural strengthening and fit out of the branch which has a floor area in excess of 350m2 set over two floors. Hayden Pirie & Tim Lloyd were the key contacts for the Project, they also had a great team working hard and taking care of everything behind the scenes to ensure our time line schedule was kept to. Nothing was too much trouble and I was involved in every step of the way to us achieving an exceptional end result. Along the way there were decisions  that needed to be made and the CDM team ensured solutions and practical advice was offered and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. When it comes to Office Rebuilding, Refurbishments & Fit-outs in my opinion you would not find a better company than CDM to entrust with your investment in your business premises."

Bruce Holmes, Branch Manager - Barfoot & Thompson Onehunga

"The professionalism, skill and dedication of your team were integral to the project's success... we expect the highest level of craftsmanship and integrity from our contractors. You and your team, have not only met those expectations, but have surpassed them."

Sarosh Mulla, Salmond Reed Architects Ltd - St Matthews-in-the-City

"For over 20 years Barfoot & Thompson have contracted CDM to look after the refurbishment and design of our branch network. From just simple refurbishing like interior wall painting and new carpet laying to full office design and build, their workmanship, attention to detail & communication are unbeatable."

Peter Thompson, Managing Director - Barfoot & Thompson

"Lumino Dental Limited...has dealt with CDM for over 19 years...We have found CDM an excellent company to deal with, efficient and very helpful with all aspects of design work and in the provision of quality joinery, fixtures & fittings and associated building works. Lumino would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone that requires quality design, construction & project management company."

Rex Verry - Lumino The Dentists

"From the moment we got the green light for a new sub branch at Hobsonville, the fit-out process began in earnest. From the outset, Hayden, Tim and the team at CDM took care of everything and made the process as painless and hassle-free as possible. Plans were quickly prepared and approved, and the project was managed efficiently from start to finish. Dealing with the usual array of array of issues and decisions was made easy - it seemed every detail was pre-empted and taken care of, and they offered practical advice and solutions when required. When it comes to office fit-outs and refurbishments, these guys know what they are doing, and do it well."

Mark Van Lent, Branch Manager - Barfoot & Thompson Hobsonville

"From the moment I made contact with CDM, they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. As it transpired, they had the knowledge and skill-set to handle much of the work initially provided to me by another architectural practice. Everything was communicated clearly in a transparent and efficient manner. Meetings with the team were easy, and the communication was great and friendly. The building consent process was very straightforward. As building costs related to the post pandemic world blossomed, I elected not to proceed with the project but CDM were good to deal with in what could have been an awkward situation. I would have no hesitation recommending them. If my situation changes, they will be the first place I will go to.
