Our History & Evolution

Founded in 2005 by Richard Cawson and Lance Pearson, Access | Partners in Property began as a small operation with a singular, ambitious vision: to elevate the standard of property maintenance services across New Zealand. Over the years, we have evolved into a comprehensive, multi-division company renowned for our expertise, integrity, and highly personal approach to client relationships.

Our growth has been strategically driven by a commitment to delivering high-quality, end-to-end property services:

  • 2017: We welcomed Gunac | Waterproofing Specialists to the family, bringing 50 years of specialist waterproofing experience into our fold.
  • 2021: The Building Wash Company joined us, significantly expanding our thorough building washing and industrial abseiling capabilities.
  • 2024: To strengthen our local presence and extend our dedicated reach, particularly in the Waikato region, we acquired Waikato Property Maintenance (WPM) and WayDgo Site Care Services.

Today, our specialist divisions work seamlessly together to deliver complete property solutions, from complex construction and major metal roof replacements to everyday building repairs.
