Forme Reclad Limited

What Forme Reclad Limited does

Forme Reclad Limited is a privately held specialist building remediation contractor headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. Founded in 2004 and now in its 20th year of operation, the firm focuses exclusively on recladding and remediation of buildings affected by leaky building syndrome — particularly monolithic-clad homes and multi-unit developments constructed from the early 1990s onwards. Its service portfolio spans residential and commercial recladding, mould and toxic fungus remediation, structural timber repair, full house renovations, and external deck construction, with every project closed out by a Code Compliance Certificate and backed by a written 10-year weathertight warranty. The company reports over 1,000 completed projects across standalone homes, townhouses, apartments, and commercial premises, and its principals (Managing Director Chris Davis and Projects Director Shane Webster) personally conduct initial site meetings and remain engaged throughout each engagement.

Technically, Forme Reclad's work is grounded in conventional construction practice rather than proprietary technology: cavity system installation, timber assessment and replacement, mould abatement, and cladding systems designed to satisfy the current New Zealand Building Code. The firm's principal technical offering is its Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) service, which embeds the contractor into early design and buildability reviews alongside architects and consultants to control cost and constructability. The 10-year written warranty functions as both a quality control and marketing instrument.

Commercially, the firm operates a project-based, custom-quoted revenue model with no published rate cards. Pricing is determined through obligation-free on-site assessments. The go-to-market is sales-led and almost entirely referral-driven, leveraging completed project portfolios, body corporate and consultant endorsements (Maynard Marks, CoveKinloch, Kaizon, Leuschke Group, Boutique Body Corporate, Auckland Property Management), and direct engagement via phone and web form. The firm serves a mix of individual homeowners, body corporates, insurers, and consultants, and operates exclusively within Auckland. Notable contract scale includes a NZ$14 million 58-townhouse refurbishment at Stoneybrook, Epsom, delivered for Maynard Marks. The firm is founder-owned, with no external institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity recorded.

Broad incumbents

• Fletcher Construction: The construction arm of Fletcher Building, New Zealand's largest construction and building products group. Comparable as a dominant NZ incumbent with both new-build and remediation capabilities, capable of absorbing large multi-unit recladding contracts.
• Naylor Love Construction: Major NZ commercial and residential construction firm with national reach and established remediation/refurbishment capability. Comparable as a broad NZ incumbent capable of competing for large body-corporate recladding and apartment refurbishment contracts of the type Forme services.
• Hawkins Group: One of New Zealand's largest commercial construction contractors, delivering building, infrastructure, and remediation projects nationwide. Comparable to Forme Reclad as a broad NZ construction incumbent that occasionally overlaps on commercial remediation and recladding work.

Direct peers

• Mainmark: International specialist in ground engineering, asset remediation, and structural repair using proprietary injection and resin technologies. Comparable to Forme Reclad as a remediation specialist rather than a generalist builder, addressing structural and water-related damage to buildings.
• Freyssinet: Global specialist contractor in structural repair, post-tensioning, and building remediation. Comparable to Forme Reclad as a specialist remediation contractor operating in the same category of fixing structural and weathertightness defects in existing buildings.
• BBR Contech: Specialist construction and remediation contractor operating in Australasia with structural strengthening, post-tensioning, and repair expertise. Comparable to Forme Reclad in addressing structural defects and remediation of existing buildings rather than new construction.
• Watertight Homes (NZ): New Zealand specialist in leaky home remediation, recladding, and weathertightness repairs for residential properties. Directly comparable to Forme Reclad as a dedicated NZ recladding specialist serving the same leaky-building-syndrome market segment.

Others

• Sika New Zealand: Global specialty chemicals company with a strong NZ presence in waterproofing membranes, sealants, and concrete repair systems. Comparable as an adjacent supplier enabling remediation work of the type Forme Reclad delivers, rather than a direct competitor.
