What information do we collect?

To provide accurate construction solutions and project management, we may collect the following information:

  • Contact Details: Your name, phone number, and email address.

  • Property Information: Physical site address, Certificate of Title, existing floor plans, and project specifications.

  • Identity & Financials: To finalize Master Build guarantees or formal construction contracts, we may require proof of identity or financial verification as necessitated by New Zealand law.

How do we collect information?

We collect information through direct interaction and authorized third parties to ensure our “Built on What Actually Works” approach is applied from day one:

  • Direct Interaction: When you fill out a consultation form on our website, engage in site visits, or discuss project budgets via email.

  • Authorized Third Parties: We may receive information from your architect, designer, or real estate agent, provided you have granted them permission to share these details with us.

  • Public Records: We may access public records from the Christchurch City Council (CCC) or Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) to verify property boundaries and land constraints.

Use and Disclosure of Information

  • Confidentiality: MDP Construction will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

  • Project Execution: To move your project forward, we only share necessary information with our trusted sub-trades, structural engineers, and council inspectors who are essential to the delivery of your build.

  • External Links: We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites linked through our site, such as project management software or local government portals.

Intellectual Property

All content featured on this website—including but not limited to text, logos, custom graphics, and architectural concepts—is the exclusive property of MDP Construction.

  • Design Ownership: Any preliminary sketches, site plans, or specialized construction methodologies shared during the consultation phase remain our intellectual property until a formal construction contract is executed.

  • Usage Restrictions: Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or use of our designs to obtain alternative quotes or for independent construction is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

Accuracy of Information

While we strive for excellence in every digital and physical build, the information on this website is for general descriptive purposes only.

  • Site-Specific Variables: Every project in Canterbury is subject to unique soil conditions, engineering requirements, and Christchurch City Council (CCC) regulations.

  • Visual Representations: Photographs and 3D renders are intended to showcase our quality and style; final materials and finishes will be specified within your individual building contract.

  • Right to Modify: MDP Construction reserves the right to update service descriptions or technical specifications without prior notice to reflect industry advancements or regulatory changes.

Cookies and Analytics

To ensure our digital presence is as “smart” as our planning, we use cookies to enhance your browsing experience.

  • Your Choice: You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may limit your ability to use certain features of our site.

Confidentiality & Data Security

We take the security of your project data as seriously as we take the structural integrity of our builds.

  • Secure Storage: Your personal and property information is stored in secure, encrypted environments to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.

  • Strategic Sharing: We only disclose your details to essential project partners—such as structural engineers, trusted sub-trades, and Council inspectors—and only to the extent necessary to complete your project safely and legally.

  • Zero-Sale Policy: We will never sell, trade, or lease your personal information to third-party marketing firms.
