Great to meet Malcom recently, thank you for the write up mate!

Connect Access is a smarter way to maintain buildings at height — without the cost and disruption of traditional methods.

I recently spent time with Brendon Kinnaird, founder of Connect Access, who built the business after nearly two decades working in the rope access industry both in New Zealand and overseas.

After returning during Covid, he started from scratch — cold calling, knocking on doors, and introducing a different way of getting work done on buildings.

The difference is simple:
👉 One team handles both access and the work itself.

Instead of scaffolding, heavy machinery, and multiple contractors, Connect Access uses rope access techniques to reach anywhere on a building — safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

For building managers and property owners, that often means:
• Lower overall cost
• Faster job completion
• No major disruption to tenants or the public

Whether it’s joint seal replacements, painting, or general maintenance, the team works from the top down — often completing jobs with little visible impact at ground level.

In many cases, unless you look up, you wouldn’t even know the work is happening.

What stands out is the simplicity of the model:
One team. One solution. Less hassle.

For anyone managing multi-level buildings, it’s a practical alternative worth understanding.

We’ve been on site in Hamilton this week pressure testing the newly installed windows. It’s a key step to make sure everything is sealed properly and performing as it should.

Awesome to see the project coming together. The windows are in and the building is really starting to take shape. It’s looking better every day.

Great to be a part of this one of a kind project.
