RCP Opens Doors in Vancouver

Leading New Zealand property construction and infrastructure delivery firm RCP formally opened its offices in Vancouver this month, Executive Director Cristean Monreal says.

“Vancouver is the ideal place for us to take our first international steps, with Canada and New Zealand both facing similar social and horizontal infrastructure challenges,” Mr Monreal says.

“We are excited to bring RCP’s consultancy and leadership offering to a new market.”

With extensive experience delivering complex landmark construction projects in New Zealand, from Scott Base in Antarctica to the iconic Auckland Sky Tower, RCP has plenty of specialist expertise to contribute to the Canadian property and infrastructure sector.

“New Zealand is not an easy place to build infrastructure due to the country’s location and isolation, with procurement, lead time and seismic considerations impacting every project,” RCP’s Director of Canadian Operations Bevan Judge says.

“RCP’s point of difference in Canada is that we’re able to apply lessons from the extremely complex, high-risk and high-cost market that we originate from.

“Coming from New Zealand where earthquake and seismic performance are central to infrastructure development, we are well versed in efficiently integrating seismic performance, remediation and resilience into project design.”
