Ko wai mātou | About our Company

Crown Infrastructure Delivery (CID) is a Crown-owned company charged with leading and supporting Government infrastructure projects and programmes across Aotearoa.

Since being repurposed in 2023, our focus has been on supporting the Crown by providing business case development, project management, and delivery services. This includes delivering national infrastructure projects and programmes for a range of government agencies—particularly those with limited internal delivery capacity and capability.

We take on day-to-day responsibility for procurement, design, and delivery of infrastructure and property projects. Our teams in Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland pride themselves on managing health and safety, budgets, timeframes, and scope rigorously to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget, and to agreed quality standards.

We also ensure end-user expectations are front of mind and that projects deliver value-for-money for the Crown. Our overarching objective is to improve the consistency, effectiveness, and efficiency of Crown infrastructure delivery.
