Background
"In my previous role as a New Zealand site manager for a large American company, I was tasked with redeveloping facilities to meet high operational demands. We chose pole shed technology—versatile, cost-effective, and ideal for New Zealand conditions—for our warehouses, offices and laboratory workshops."
The Problem
"But while the technology itself was perfect, the process was not. We faced constant setbacks—poor communication, unanswered emails, and unreturned calls. Materials arrived late, delaying projects by months. Engineering errors arose because suppliers outsourced critical design work overseas, resulting in buildings that didn’t meet New Zealand’s strict standards."
Even Worse
"Even worse, we discovered that many pole sheds across the country didn’t meet local standards for wind strength and exposure zones. Owners often didn’t realize their sheds were at risk of failure."
The Epiphany
"Surely, people deserve better. We knew there had to be a way to deliver high-quality, compliant pole sheds with sound advice, reliable service, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. That’s why we started BackRidge Rural Buildings."
Our Mission
"At BackRidge Rural Buildings, we believe every shed is more than just a structure—it’s a solution to someone’s need. That’s why we’ve built a team of dedicated designers, engineers, suppliers, and contractors committed to delivering excellence."
