What Rhino Waterproofing Systems Ltd does

Rhino Waterproofing Systems Ltd is a privately held New Zealand construction services company headquartered in Frankton, Queenstown, providing specialized construction waterproofing and green roof installation services to commercial and residential customers in the Southern Lakes and Central Otago regions. The company delivers a project-based service offering spanning roof membrane systems (torch-on modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, liquid membranes, PVC, warm roof systems), below-grade waterproofing, deck and planter membranes, concrete repair, wet area waterproofing, ponds and water features, and green/living roof installations under two registered brand identities: BioRoof (living roof systems including site-specific media, plants, irrigation, and maintenance) and CertiFill (below-grade waterproofing). Rhino sources membranes and system components from New Zealand's leading suppliers and positions itself as the most experienced waterproofing team in the Queenstown region, with demonstrated work on anchor accounts including Queenstown Airport, Holiday Inn Express Queenstown, Wanaka Police, Wakatipu High School, Jucy Snooze, IFLY Queenstown, New World Alexandra, and New Zermatt.

The business operates on a one-time, project-based revenue model with quote-based pricing; customers initiate engagement via phone or a website free-quote form. Distribution is entirely direct, with no intermediaries, dealers, or partner channels. The company holds a Site Safe NZ certification supporting eligibility for commercial and government work, and its marketing presence is limited to a content-style company website and project gallery with no disclosed social media or paid acquisition. There is no public funding, no disclosed ownership or management roster, no parent company, and no M&A history in the input data; the company appears to be a privately owned regional specialist with a single Queenstown branch.
