Non-Residential Projects

At Building Environmental Needs, we deliver high-quality non-residential and light commercial projects with the same focus on detail, communication, and transparency that define our residential work. Our portfolio includes Ministry of Education projects across Catholic Diocese schools in Christchurch, where we have completed classroom refurbishments, exterior cladding repairs, and playground upgrades. Beyond education, our work extends to community and commercial facilities, including the Radio Preservation Society in Ferrymead, Hibburt Park Campground in Spencerville, The Bridge and South Brighton Play Centre

Working in live environments, particularly schools, requires specialised attention to health and safety, security, and time management. We understand the importance of minimising disruption while delivering projects that are safe, functional, and built to last. With transparent pricing, detailed planning, and clear communication at every stage, BEN is a trusted partner for non-residential and commercial builds throughout Christchurch.
