Douglas and Associates Construction Limited is a privately owned construction firm based in New Zealand, specializing in the development of affordable alternative housing options, including tiny homes, small residences, and mobile homes. The company utilizes materials such as freight containers and reclaimed or recycled resources. Established in 2000 as a family-run business, the firm has experienced a significant increase in demand for its services, particularly in response to the global rise in real estate prices and the ongoing effects of the pandemic, which have rendered home ownership increasingly unattainable for many individuals. This surge in interest has been further influenced by the "Tiny Home Movement," leading to notable growth in both demand for the company's offerings and expansion into international markets. Currently, Douglas and Associates Construction Limited employs 500 individuals and aims for further growth. The company is led by co-founders and General Managers Mr. Steven Douglas and his brother David Douglas, aged 65 and 50, respectively. Despite lacking formal training in business management and leadership development, the brothers recognize the necessity of preparing for their eventual retirement. This includes the recruitment of additional managers and the provision of essential leadership training to ensure the effective implementation of the company’s vision.
