We’re excited to share that Frequency Senior Associate, Isaac Kett is the Supreme Winner for the NZIOB Building People Awards 2024, following his win in the Consultants | Matanga Award category.
“Based in Tāmaki | Auckland – Isaac won for his role as Delivery, Interface, and Design Manager on the Pukekohe to Papakura (P2P) Project.
As Delivery, Interface, and Design Manager, Isaac’s exceptional blend of technical expertise, innovative problem-solving, and compassionate leadership make him a standout among an exceptional line up of winners. The Papakura to Pukekohe KiwiRail project was extremely complex and Isaac’s skills shone through his seamless project management.
Isaac is a strong leader who showed genuine interest and care in the people working on the project at all levels. He had collaboration at his heart taking the time to understand the teams’ background and adapting the way he engaged with team members to ensure that he got the best out of everyone.
Isaac brings a rare blend of technical prowess, ingenuity, and hands-on experience. Isaac questioned the status quo and drove the development of significant cost and time saving designs and construction methodologies with the contractor which included initiatives that greatly improved the environmental impact of the project. The work he did to review the environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements were precedent setting and warrant developing into a case study for the ESG requirements that are expected to become mandatory within the construction industry.
Above all Isaac was always willing to go above and beyond, to do what was right for all, and right for the project rather than taking what might have been the easy path.”
Congratulations, Isaac! This award is a well-deserved recognition of your dedication, expertise and skill, and outstanding character.
