Meet the Experts Behind Premier Group NZ
When it comes to choosing the right bricks for your home or project, there’s more to consider than just colour and cost. Bricks impact your build’s durability, weather resistance, thermal performance, compliance, and even your home’s resale value.
That’s why thousands of Kiwis turn to Premier Group NZ, home to some of the most experienced and respected brick consultants in New Zealand—trusted not just by homeowners, but by builders, architects, and industry professionals across the country.
🧱 Why Expert Brick Advice Matters
From efflorescence and mortar stains to insulation and aesthetic coordination, the decisions you make early can save (or cost) you thousands down the track.
Our brick consultants don’t just know Premier Brick inside and out—they are often called in to advise and troubleshoot brick jobs supplied by other companies. That’s how respected they are.
🧠 A Team Trained by the Best in the Business
Every one of our consultants has undergone extensive training under John Oliver, one of New Zealand’s most respected brick authorities. This training dates back years and is ongoing.
They’ve also logged countless hours of on-site consultation, walking builds, identifying risks, solving issues, and supporting projects both big and small.
It’s not theory. It’s real-world learning earned the hard way—one brick at a time.
