Every entrepreneurial venture starts with a challenge.
Height’s was clear:
The infrastructure industry struggles with complex projects, procurement and tendering. With extensive experience in construction, civil engineering, business management and HR working in the corporate sector, our founders Liz Cowin and Warner Cowin (Ngāti Porou) were ready to build their own venture. In 2013, they created Height—meeting untapped demand for independent expertise to bid for and deliver projects that drive growth and improve how we live and work.
Today, Height is inspired by that shared purpose:
For government agencies, and businesses small, large and indigenous-owned. For a stronger future, for us all. We are values-led, sustainability-focused and equity-minded. We draw on and drive the principles of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga and mātauranga, where our relationships to each other, the land we share and the work we’re co-creating are built on respect, integrity and Māori knowledge. We’re constantly challenging ourselves to do more and make a greater impact—and that starts with bringing a breadth of high-quality skill sets and perspectives together to do our best by our clients.
Spanning engineering, project management and business development, to communications and design, our talented team of 20-plus experts deliver the deep industry experience and creative flair it takes to tackle business growth—and society’s biggest issues.
