SEEC

What SEEC does

SEEC is a New Zealand-based specialist consultancy, headquartered in Auckland, that delivers building sustainability and occupant wellbeing certification consulting for industrial, commercial, and multi-unit residential projects. The firm is an authorized consultancy partner across four recognized certification frameworks: WELL (administered by Delos), Green Star (administered by the New Zealand Green Building Council, covering both Performance and Buildings pathways), Homestar (the New Zealand residential rating standard), and NABERSNZ (the National Australian Built Environment Rating System adapted for New Zealand). Its stated value proposition is helping clients navigate these complex certification processes to achieve sustainability and wellbeing credentials that enable access to sustainable financing.

The company's service portfolio centers on expert consulting across each certification scheme, with documented delivery of high-tier outcomes including 6 Star Green Star Design and Built certifications on multiple premium commercial developments and combined Green Star, WELL Core, and NABERSNZ certifications on single projects. Its client base spans commercial real estate developers, industrial property owners and operators, and residential developers, with logos including Mansons TCLM, Property for Industry (PFi), APEC Property, Goodman, Fisher & Paykel, NZME, NZ Blood, Cotton On, and Daikin. SEEC reaches clients primarily through a professional website (seec.co.nz), direct phone and email contact, and project portfolio showcase.

SEEC operates as a project-based professional services firm rather than a software or platform business. Revenue is generated through per-project consulting fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed and engagements likely quoted individually based on project scope. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales and direct outreach to property developers, building owners, and construction firms in the New Zealand market. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, management team information, or revenue figures.
