Massey leads university education in construction management and quantity surveying in New Zealand. We offer the only bachelor’s degrees in both majors by a New Zealand university and our master’s degree offers the most diversified specialisations. All programmes are contemporary and tailored to fit industry needs.
Our students get to work with world class academics complemented by industry input across all levels of study.
Research is at the heart of the School of Built Environment, with an impressive record of collaborations with other academics and practitioners. Three key research areas encapsulate our researchers specialisation: smart construction, project management and environmental sustainability.
We have on-going funded projects which deliver impactful outcomes to the construction and other industries. These continue to build our reputation nationally and internationally.
Massey University leads New Zealand with its construction and lighting research-led education. Our education focuses on quantity surveying and construction management while our research focus is on smart construction, project management and environmental sustainability.
Massey staff have expertise in drafting building contracts so that the contract is more succinct and easily interpreted.
Dispute over a construction contract can incur large amounts of money and time. This delays works, increases costs and strains relationships.
Contracts can be populated with risk assignment clauses as required for each project.
We have equipment in our photometric laboratory to test lighting performance, energy consumption of new lighting technologies and research and development of new luminaires. The photometric laboratory is on Massey's Auckland campus.
I loved the course, and this passion enabled me to get good grades and create great relationships with my peers and teachers.

My employer encouraged me to further my study in construction. I chose Massey’s Master of Construction as it allowed me to study via distance and block courses while I worked, making for a manageable workload.

Studying at Massey allowed me to both work and study full time. This increased pace, flexibility and ability to learn gave me an advantage over other university graduates. I am now much more advanced in my career than those of similar ages who either just studied or just worked.

Studying at Massey has been amazing! At the end of my first year, I started a cadetship at Kalmar Construction - which I have continued into my third year of study - doing the work of a Junior/Intermediate Quantity Surveyor. I learnt a lot from my practical work experience.

When I first drove to Massey to view the campus I knew straight away that I wanted to study here. I had never heard of a construction degree before, but I applied for it anyway and have never looked back.
