Portfolio Management
“Our aim is to understand each client’s business strategy and objectives, to enable the delivery of complex and challenging projects by aligning implementation with corporate strategy”. - Marcus Read, RCP Director
Our bespoke portfolio management approach is proven to increase efficiency and effectiveness and create successful outcomes through balancing long-term strategy with short term imperatives. We provide strategic advice and project leadership which allows us to introduce innovative and smart approaches to the delivery of complex programmes of work – minimising and controlling risk and maximising opportunities within identified constraints.
As a nationwide company, RCP is able to deliver multiple projects simultaneously. To support this process we have developed a number of tools to manage large-scale national rollouts such as retail stores. Our tools enable any programme of work to be planned, managed and monitored efficiently with clear reporting on the status of every site in a dashboard. This capability is essential to overcome the complex logistical challenges of multiple sites, which may be spread across a number of geographic locations. The tools also allow for the successful co-ordination and management of numerous construction projects in short time frames.
We have built a community of trusted relationships with both consultants and contractors across the country and can be locally responsive to the needs of each project, with an acute awareness of specific regional issues and challenges.

Health & Safety
RCP has nationally recognised Health and Safety systems to keep our team and our project teams safe.
We deliberately set out to create a work environment where workplace safety matters, adopting health, safety and welfare as fundamental business objectives.
Our dedicated Health and Safety team has implemented systems and processes which comprise clear and effective procedures to mitigate risk. We do not compromise on the protection of our employees, clients or contractors.
RCP project team members hold current Site Safe certification. RCP is committed to continuous improvement through ongoing training, to further strengthen our knowledge and understanding of Health and Safety risk management.
Safety in Design
Safety in Design integrates hazard identification and risk assessment methods early in the design process to identify, assess and mitigate Health and Safety risks to people over the life of an asset.
Safety in Design begins in the conceptual and planning phases of a project. Making the right choices at the design stage enhances the safety of the project. These choices may include appropriate methods of construction, ongoing maintenance provisions or materials used.
RCP ensures Safety in Design is considered throughout all phases of the project life cycle to improve the safety of construction sites and the use and maintenance of the asset into the future.
Corporate and Social Responsibility
At RCP we believe it is our responsibility to use the resources, experience and skills we have as a business to support the communities we live and work in.
Our ongoing work in the public sector enables us to play a key role in providing social housing, education facilities, high-quality healthcare and infrastructure, right across New Zealand. On any project, our goal is to improve the wellbeing of the community the project will ultimately serve, and we utilise our capability, experience and community to make impactful social and environmental improvements.
