WHO WE ARE - CULTURE FIRST
FOCO NZ was established in 2019 by founding director Ronwyn Coulson, an Architect and Project Director with over 20 years experience in the design and project management of construction projects. Our small practice is based in Christchurch but provides services across New Zealand.
FOCO NZ offers clients a project leadership consultancy service which embraces a culture of collaboration, respect and empowerment reflective of a culturally diverse workplace in 21st century New Zealand. We select our clients and business partners based on a strong alignment of culture, values and principles.
The FOCO way is particularly well suited to stakeholder and reputation sensitive projects, as well as projects where design quality and budget are critically important. As we offer both consultancy and coaching, we are able to provide a tailored and flexible solution for unique projects. If this sounds like what you may need, please see our menu of options below.

PROJECT GOVERNANCE & LEADERSHIP
Setting up a project for success and leading a team of experts to deliver a project successfully requires skill, drive and patience.
