BASED IN SOUTHLAND, WORKING ACROSS NEW ZEALAND
We partner with clients from day one — helping shape ideas, unlock opportunities, and deliver projects with clarity and confidence. From securing land through to design, procurement, and construction delivery, we provide a complete, end-to-end service focused on one thing: adding value at every stage.
POWERFUL PARTNERING. FRESH THINKING.
Whakahoa Whai Mana. Whakaaro Hou.
From Concept to Completion — We’re With You All the Way
We work alongside our clients from the very beginning, guiding every step of the journey:
✓ Land and site acquisition
✓ Planning and consenting
✓ Design coordination and management
✓ Procurement strategy and contractor engagement
✓ Construction delivery and oversight
Every project is approached with practical thinking, strong leadership, and a focus on achieving the best possible outcome.
PROVEN DELIVERY.
Ratonga whakatutuki.
Since 2018, Maxis Projects has led over $80M in development projects, working with private clients, local government, and community organisations.
Our experience spans aged care, commercial, civic, and residential developments — including the delivery of one of New Zealand’s most innovative care facilities, Hawthorndale Care Village.
OUR CORE VALUES.
Ō mātou uara matua.
How we approach every project is just as important as the outcome. These principles guide the way we think, work, and deliver — from the first conversation through to completion.
Finding a Better Way Forward
Ka mua, ka muri
We focus on doing things better — not just for ourselves, but for our clients and the wider industry. That mindset continues to shape how we approach every project today.
Adding Value from Concept to Completion
Whakapakari i te kaupapa mai i te ariā ki te otinga
We believe the best outcomes come from looking at the full picture — feasibility, design, and construction working together. By getting involved early, we can test ideas, reduce risk, and find smarter, more efficient ways to deliver value from the outset.
Strong Partnerships
Pātuitanga
Great projects are built on strong relationships. We bring together the right people, ideas, and expertise, all focused on a shared goal. By building trust and working collaboratively, we’re able to push boundaries and deliver results that truly make a difference.
Fresh Thinking
Whakaaro Hou
Experience matters — but so does perspective. We know that great projects don’t just happen during construction; they’re shaped from the very beginning. That’s why we focus on aligning everyone early, so the entire team is working toward the same outcome.
Great People
Nāu tāu mahi
At the heart of every successful project are the people behind it. We take the time to understand our clients and partners, stepping into their shoes to see things from their perspective. Combined with strong leadership and proven expertise, this approach helps us deliver the right results — and build teams we’re proud to be part of.
GREAT PEOPLE. STRONG RELATIONSHIPS.
Whanaungatanga.
Maxis Projects explores alternative design approaches, smarter procurement strategies, and efficient construction methods. We consistently unlock value for our clients — often saving significant time and cost without compromising quality.
OUR CLIENTS
Matt Russell, CEO
Presbyterian Support Southland (PSS)
"PSS is fortunate to have worked with Nick for over twenty years, and Maxis Projects for the last decade. Nick and the Maxis team have worked with us on many complex projects and challenges within sensitive operational environments often characterised by tight budgets and timeframes – the result has always been exceptional personalised support, with a structured, solutions-focussed approach to advice and delivery."
Rob Cambell, Managing Director
Foley Group Architecture
"Nick has been a joy to work with for the last 6-7 years on various projects. He is methodical in his approach, he articulates his expectations clearly and early, and strives to achieve the best for the project. He is a solution-seeker, overcoming any issues that arise on projects. He treats the consultant teams with respect, and allows everyone to achieve their deliverables within his programmes."

"Nick has a genuine affiliation to the projects he is involved with, and seeks to tailor the deliverables for each client according to their own version of “success”. His skillset is invaluable to any project, and that is why we enjoy working alongside Nick, and continue to recommend him in our projects and to our clients without hesitation. We know that every project will have a better outcome with Nick in the team."
Janette Malcolm, Chair
The Grace Street project
"The Invercargill Community Connections Charitable Trust has been working with Maxis Projects/Nick Hamlin since late 2023 on the design and construction of an 800m2 community hub in South Invercargill. The build is part renovation of two existing buildings, and part new construction and it has been technically complex to design and manage."

"Added to that, there are increased difficulties in working with a charity that is fundraising for the build, creating uncertainty about what and when work can progress.
"We have observed that some of Nick’s key attributes are his professional competence and active oversight of the process and the build, a positive solutions focused approach and his range of professional relationships which means that the ‘experts’ we have engaged across all the engineering disciplines have been highly competent and have reliably delivered their outputs on time.
"His patience and good humour in working with us, and some of our intended users has also been greatly appreciated."
