BuildUP26, the Building Institute Aotearoa’s flagship annual conference, is the definitive gathering for the people who make Aotearoa New Zealand’s built environment happen. This year, BuildUP26 will be held on 26 March 2026 at Majestic on Durham, Christchurch, a vibrant and contemporary venue in the heart of the city.

Expect real conversations that matter, smart thinking backed by experience, and tools and strategies crafted for immediate impact across construction and infrastructure. Whether you’re on site, in management, design, or a specialist role, BuildUP26 is your opportunity to engage with peers, hear from thought leaders, and help build better outcomes for our industry and communities.

Site Visit: Summerset Waikanae

Wednesday 19th November 2025 at 5:30pm, Summerset Waikanae - 32 Park Avenue, Waikanae

Join a site tour of Summerset Waikanae, a 25-hectare development north of Wellington that will eventually house 450 residents, offering both independent and memory care.

Extensive earthworks have created platforms for uninterrupted sea views towards Kapiti Island. After 2.5 years of construction, more than half of the planned buildings—including villas, new CLT multi-tenancy units, and the Regional Main Building (set to finish in February 2026)—have been completed and are gradually being occupied.

 

Networking Opportunity
At 7.30pm following the Site Visit, there will be a chance to network over drinks and nibbles. Location to be confirmed.
