Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki

Sadowitz & Sons has provided professional Quantity Surveying services across a diverse portfolio of capital works projects at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. Our involvement has spanned both the heritage and contemporary sections of the Gallery, supporting the successful planning and delivery of works within one of New Zealand’s most significant cultural institutions.

Projects have included gallery fitouts, lighting upgrades, heritage restoration works, structural strengthening, HVAC renewals, and upgrades to existing building services. Many of these projects have been undertaken within an operational public facility, requiring careful cost planning and staged delivery to minimise disruption while protecting the Gallery’s heritage fabric and maintaining operational continuity.

Our role has encompassed the full project lifecycle, from design-phase estimating and budget development through to tender evaluation, construction cost management, stakeholder reporting, and final account agreement. We have worked collaboratively with project managers, consultants, and contractors to provide robust financial management and cost certainty across multiple concurrent projects.
