Andrew Howie will take up the newly created role in the Wellington office.
Project management company, The Building Intelligence Group, has announced the appointment of Andrew Howie in a newly created role, heading up Strategic Advisory.
Howie has come from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, where he was manager of the commercial pool for New Zealand Government Procurement and Property, where he provided specialist commercial and procurement advice to government agencies and ministries across New Zealand on their high-value and strategically important projects.
Managing director of The Building Intelligence Group, Ian Macaskill said Howie has been a significant figure in the government and commercial sectors.
“There is increased demand for advisory services across all phases of projects during these uncertain times, as clients look to interrogate projects at the concept stage and throughout the life-cycle of a project with rigor. Andrew Howie’s exceptional strategic advisory skills combined with his deep government knowledge and commercial sector experience are a huge asset in this space.
As an influencing voice in government, Howie has represented MBIE on Treasury’s Capital Investment Panel, the Ministry of Health’s South Island Hospital Redevelopment Governance Group, Crown Collaborative Construction Forum, and as a representative on the Australian Procurement and Construction Council. His team also recently completed and published the Government’s Construction Guidelines.
Howie will be based in The Building Intelligence Group’s Wellington office and central business manager Byron Roff said Howie complemented the existing team and brought additional, targeted advisory capability.
“We’ve worked with Andrew on the other side of the table and seen first-hand his intellectual horsepower and relationship ability over many years, so it’s great to be able to now work alongside him in delivering and leading strong thinking to guide projects for our clients,” Roff said.
