As the voice for the sector, ACE New Zealand drives change and ensures clients and decision makers understand the value of consultants.
ACE’s mission is to elevate the voices, expertise and readiness of consultants in the built and natural environment through advocacy, empowerment and leadership. We drive change as the voice for consulting and engineering, and ensure clients and decision makers understand the value of consultants. ACE members should use the information on this page to understand what we advocate for and echo these key messages in conversations with clients.
New Zealand has a significant infrastructure deficit, which is complicated by the current economic climate, changing technology, a long-term skills shortage, an aging population, and the impacts of climate change.
ACE New Zealand members are key to solving these challenges. They understand how policies affect our economy, wellbeing and quality of life, and have in-depth knowledge of project design, delivery and decision-making – from major infrastructure to small community projects. They offer expert advice on the big-picture challenges and practical solutions needed to make projects successful.
By leveraging our members’ knowledge and experience, we have a real chance to turn these challenges into opportunities to create a sustainable and resilient construction and infrastructure sector that benefits our communities and economy.
A committed pipeline of work is crucial for the stability and growth of our industry.
The consulting and engineering sector has a vital role to play in shaping New Zealand’s future.

These are issues that affect every consulting and engineering business, as well as the clients, communities and decision-makers we work with.
This campaign is about sharing perspectives and encouraging all ACE members to be part of the conversation. By sharing our collective expertise and real-world experience, we can help decision-makers better understand the challenges facing the sector and the actions needed to create lasting change.
