Our Clients

Pacifecon is up to date, accurate, and has a wide range of data overall vertical construction projects – more than their competitors. Pacifecon also has more detailed information over their competitors, which brings better results when using keywords that the NZ market understands around certain disciplines of trades (i.e. Architect, Construction Company/Builder etc.)

The easy ‘simple search’ function and the more specific ‘advanced search’ function allows various ways that you can pull up the same project, giving better access to information on the vertical construction industry, which in turn has allowed us to quote/tender more and achieve greater market coverage and narrow down on project types.

We can easily see if projects we’re tracking are updated and it is obvious to note exactly what has been updated. The friendly customer-support team always spends the time to assist with any questions/explanations and the advantage with the researchers being based locally allows stronger relationships with the market. It also supports the stakeholders of NZ projects by allowing them to achieve the best team for the job by opening information to the whole market.

"We compared the results of several different prospect searches using Pacifecon with those of our provider at the time and we found that Pacifecon identified more opportunities, that had more relevance to our search criteria.

We have identified projects, especially at their early stages of development, that we would have taken far more effort to find without Pacifecon.

The interface is easy to use, the filtering system is simple to understand and the results are up to date.

Pacifecon Trainers provided a very high level of upfront assistance when we first subscribed to get all our users up to speed on how best to use the product and the Pacifecon Staff always provide a high level of personal assistance and are very quick to respond when we have a query.

We find Pacifecon is a product that meets our requirements to prospect opportunities with the minimum of effort, packaged in an easy to use and reliable interface."

“We’re a business that concentrates on keeping water out of buildings, from roofs, decks and below-ground waterproofing as well. The lion’s share of materials that we sell are waterproofing membrane systems, however we do have quite a comprehensive pitched roofing portfolio of shingles and synthetic tiles.

Pacifecon have the database and series of publications that give us clues as to what developments are coming up. We split our time half and half between residential and commercial – we have eight territory managers throughout the country and they use Pacifecon to get a feel for what’s coming up, and it gives them something to talk to architects about. When they see a project has been listed, they can get in there and talk specifically about the project.”

Jason Hearn, Sales & Marketing Manager at Brightwater

“We were spending a lot of money in digital marketing, being Google Ads and SEO. We reduced our Google Ad spend significantly and started managing it in house – funny enough, since then we have been a lot busier – obviously that’s due to the industry changing and starting to pick up a little, but also where we changed our game plan completely.

We’re trying to create relationships with certain builders and developers who have the same values as us. We want builders and developers who are willing to pay a fair price, who expect a company who are going to go above and beyond – who have a high quality of workmanship – not only in the finished product but the communication throughout.

When we were doing the digital marketing thing, we found that we were losing to people that were willing to sell the job at not much higher than our cost price. When we were going back and talking to some of these people for feedback, we discovered they were doing a subpar job. We’re not willing to compete in that type of market at all – we are not willing to do work that we’re not proud of and we expect to be paid a fair price for that.

Pacifecon is really playing a key part in that strategy. We don’t want to be in that race for the top three positions anymore and we’re looking to develop relationships with builders and developers that know us and value our workmanship and are willing to pay a fair price for that. We’re able to reach out directly, rather than just trying to put our name out there and hope that the right person contacts us.”
