Industry partners and MoUs

ACE New Zealand works alongside similar industry organisations in the engineering and built and natural environment to achieve the maximum amount of good for both the public and our Members. Our principal partners are listed first, followed by other organisations you may have interest in learning more about.

MoUs

Part of the value of ACE New Zealand Membership includes industry advocacy on your behalf. We do this in many ways, one of which is by establishing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with various client bodies. Over the years, we have built up many MoUs which you can learn more about below.

We are currently working towards establishing an MoU with MBIE and will notify Members when that is complete.

The BIM Acceleration Committee (BAC) is a nationwide alliance of industry and government, established to coordinate efforts to increase the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in New Zealand. BIM is about better building process, building better performance for whole of life, through the sharing of structured, coordinated information, specially for horizontal and vertical, buildings and infrastructure type assets. The BAC has the primary roles of promoting the application of BIM and identifying and championing initiatives that improve productivity, safety and building quality.

The BAC is the driving force behind the BIMinNZ website which offers a host of essential resources to support BIM use and the acceleration of its use, in New Zealand.
