Crown Infrastructure Delivery - Why our partners value working with CID - 2026

How we can help

Infrastructure is complex. You choose how much help you need.

Business cases, funding, procurement, design, construction, handover, and looking after the asset afterwards. Every stage takes experienced people and real capacity, and few agencies or councils can hold all of that in-house, all of the time.

That is where CID comes in. We work alongside councils and government agencies to strengthen them as capable owners, bringing expertise and, when the workload outstrips your team, extra capacity.

Whether you need a single piece of advice or full delivery of a major programme, we scale our involvement to suit the job. You only pay for what you use, and because we work for the public good rather than a profit, our focus stays on outcomes for communities. 

What we offer

Advisory and Strategic Advice

Business cases, investment planning and independent review, so the case you take to Cabinet, your council or your board is realistic and ready to deliver.

Embedded Support and Capability

Specialists working inside your team, from a single project director to a full delivery team.

Project Support Office

Structured reporting, risk tracking, scheduling and financial oversight to keep governance and delivery on track.

Commercial and Cost Management

Independent cost management, quantity surveying and contract administration, from first estimate to final account.

Risk, Assurance and Governance

Independent reviews, gateway assurance and governance representation, so problems are spotted early.

Full Project Delivery

We can act as your Agent, or as Principal, taking responsibility for delivery end to end.

Asset Management and Renewals

Condition data, renewals planning and long-term stewardship, so investment goes where it is needed most.

Crown Infrastructure Delivery - ESR's Experience

What our clients say

CID works alongside client teams, bringing the infrastructure expertise and capacity they need to manage complexity and keep work moving. Hear from PHF Science about its experience working with CID.

We’re an agency that focuses on biosecurity, but we don’t build things. As a government agency we don’t have the in-house capability to oversee and manage the construction and delivery of large projects like this. Partnering with CID, who have that expertise and strong capability to manage that entire side of the work for us, has been fantastic.

Biosecurity New Zealand - Deputy Director-General

The reporting, for example, has been outstanding from CID. We've just taken it to a whole new level of capability, with dashboard reporting, major issues, risk changes, management of the financial side of things, forecasting, and that sort of thing. It's been a really brilliant change from that point of view.

I think CID has done a really good job implementing the right health and safety systems to keep students, staff and the community safe. The whole team is very diligent and very competent, and they’ve built a strong relationship with the school, which we really value. I’m confident that the strong performance we’ve seen from CID will continue through the remaining stages of the project.

I think the first thing that really struck me is that we felt like clients. And that's all the way from the Chief Executive down to the coordinators. So the experience we had was really one of working in partnership together, but we were clearly the client in the relationship.
