Designed to last, from the start

Good buildings don’t stay that way by accident. Across New Zealand and Australia, tenants and visitors expect more from a building than they used to, and greenery that’s designed to last works differently from greenery that’s simply installed. At Outside In, we design greenery around your building, how it’s used and what it needs long term, whether we’re involved from the start or transforming an existing space.

Measured by performance.

We understand what commercial greenery needs to deliver for facilities teams:

‍

Building rating & compliance

‍Plant and material selection documented against your building's sustainability and IEQ reporting - not just "looks green."

‍

Leasing appeal

‍A well-planted lobby and floor plan reads as premium the moment an agent walks a prospective tenant through. Empty spaces don't.

‍

Safety by design

‍Placement planned around egress paths, sensors and sprinkler clearances - never an afterthought bolted in after the fit-out sign-off.

‍

Attraction & retention

‍Buildings that feel considered help tenant businesses recruit and keep staff - one more reason a lease gets renewed, not shopped around.

Enhances your building's rating, not just its mood.

We are IPA accredited, and hold Toitū Envirocare's ISO 14064-1carbon reduce certification. Planting is specified with your building's Indoor Environment Quality and sustainability reporting in mind, and we can supply the documentation your compliance file needs.

One team,
the whole time.

You get a dedicated account manager and the same maintenance technicians on every visit, not a rotating call centre. Here's exactly what that looks like on paper.
Your contact
One dedicated account manager for the life of the contract, design changes, additions and issues all go through the same person.
Schedule
Maintenance visits every two weeks as standard, adjusted for plant type, light levels and occupancy, set at proposal stage, not left open-ended. If summer heat means your plants need more water, we visit more often at no extra charge.
The Visit
Watering, feeding, pruning, foliage cleaning, pest management and presentation detailing, every time.
Pricing
One fixed, all-inclusive quote covering design, plants, installation and ongoing care - backed by our Happy Plant Guarantee, so a struggling plant never costs you extra to fix.
Reporting
Plant health and site notes logged at every visit, available whenever you need to show your manager or landlord the spend is working.

We keep it simple for you, one team, start to finish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What happens if a plant dies

That's what our Happy Plant Guarantee covers - if a plant dies or stops performing, we replace it at no extra cost, so the space keeps looking the way it should.

How often do you visit?

Most sites get a maintenance visit fortnightly, and we adjust that to suit the plants and the environment - a light-starved lobby needs a different rhythm to a sunny atrium.

Do your technicians have site inductions and health and safety accreditation?

Yes. We hold SiteWise Gold accreditation, and our technicians complete any/all induction and sign-in process your building requires before they start work on site.

Can you work outside business hours or around building access?

Yes - we schedule around your building's access hours, security requirements and tenant traffic, including outside standard business hours where a site calls for it.

Can we start with one floor and expand?

Yes - plenty of clients start with a lobby or a single floor, then expand once they've seen the impact.

Who do I call if something goes wrong?

Your account manager. You get the same person and the same service team throughout, so there's no call centre or ticket queue to work through - just someone who already knows your building.

Next steps

Leave your details and we'll take it from here. One team looks after your building from start to finish, so there's nothing for you to chase.
