Work with us / Construction hoardings
Construction hoarding artwork for New Zealand building sites.
A well-designed hoarding turns a building site into something worth looking at.
We find the New Zealand artist whose practice fits the site, the neighbourhood and the story of what is being built, then commission them to design artwork that works at scale. The result softens the site impact, reduces graffiti and gives the street something worth seeing while you build.
Commissioned artwork can be licensed onto future surfaces at a fraction of the cost of a new commission, with royalties back to the artist.
What you get
From brief to installed artwork.
A brief built around your site
Panel sizes, sightlines, timeframes and the story of what is being built. We write the brief from your project, not from a template.
The right artist, not the nearest one
We find the New Zealand artist whose practice and sensibility fit the brief, the neighbourhood and your team. The selection is explained, not just presented.
Anti-graffiti coating as standard
Artwork treated as infrastructure rather than decoration. The coating is specified into the production brief from day one.
Licensing for future surfaces
Commissioned artwork can be licensed onto future hoardings or other surfaces at a fraction of the cost of a new commission, with royalties back to the artist. We manage the agreement.
End-to-end management
Brief, artist selection, contract, production files and installation sign-off. One contact from start to finish.
Documentation for your team
Artist profile, commission rationale and final artwork files, ready for community, consent or ESG reporting.
Common questions
What to expect.
How long does a hoarding commission take?
From brief to finished artwork, most hoarding commissions take four to eight weeks depending on the scale and the complexity of the site. We can move faster for urgent programmes.
Can we use the artwork after the hoarding comes down?
Yes. Commissioned artwork can be licensed onto future hoardings, boardrooms or other surfaces at a fraction of the cost of a new commission, with royalties back to the artist. We manage the licensing agreement as part of the original commission.
Do we need to find the artist ourselves?
No. Finding the artist is what we do. We draw on a network of New Zealand artists across painting, illustration, photography and mixed media, and we find the one whose practice and sensibility fit your site and brief.
What does it cost?
It depends on the scale, the number of panels and the scope of the brief. Get in touch and we can work through what is right for your site.
Does commissioned artwork reduce graffiti?
In our experience, yes. Artwork that clearly belongs to a place is much less likely to be tagged than a blank or branded panel. An anti-graffiti coating is also standard on all hoarding commissions we manage.
