Facilities & Asset Services

The communities we serve are at the heart of our operations. Be it through facilities management, precinct upgrades, new energy solutions or professional and technical advisory. We run places of healthcare and education, we manage client data centres, we take asset management risk over 25-year Public Private Partnership (PPP) contracts, and we are a trusted advisor and partner to our New Zealand and Australian Defence Forces. From universities, schools and hospitals to social housing, corrections, and defence infrastructure and capabilities, we work behind the scenes to ensure the professionals and the places that our communities rely on, are operating at their optimum and able to deliver the best possible customer experience, each and every day.

Thinkers, Builders and Sustainers.

We are your one team to build, maintain and operate your buildings and facilities efficiently and sustainably for the benefit of today’s communities and future generations.

Our capable, committed people engage a network of trusted suppliers and like-minded partners, working with clients to deliver a whole-of-life approach.

Joined up thinking – and doing – means we can enhance value at every stage from planning to posterity. Through harnessing advanced technology and sharing knowledge we can generate real cost savings and efficiencies for clients.

By developing our comprehensive Downer Standard policies, procedures and guidelines, we’re proud to have achieved ISO 55001 Asset Management for our maintenance standards.

We are where our customers need us. Since 1870, Downer brands have built, lived and worked in New Zealand communities – and look towards creating a prosperous, equitable and environmentally sustainable future together.
