Our Business
Traffic is a specialist in business strategy and marketing with extensive experience in complex markets with extended value chains such as the building industry.
When the business was stablished in 2003 the core offer was to provide client companies with the specialist staff with the skills required to create break through growth strategies and provide the resources required to implement them.
In 2010 we applied our methodologies to Traffic itself and utilised our existing skills and staff resources to develop and grow our own portfolio of companies.
In addition to it’s business growth services, Traffic has established and owns Refresh Renovations, Zones Landscaping and Oncore.
Our Companies
Traffic has established and owns Refresh Renovations, Zones Landscaping and Oncore. Refresh is already the leading renovation building company in NZ’s renovation market and is establishing rapidly in Australian, U.K. and U.S. markets. Zones Landscaping has franchisees operating nationwide in New Zealand, and is establishing rapidly in the Australian market too. Oncore was established more recently and already has a nationwide presence in New Zealand.

By delivering a business model that connects customers to the best people and processes, via a unique technology platform that makes life easier for everyone. Our scale and our relationships give any homeowner access to world-class project management, customer service, attention to detail and workmanship.
Full of Opportunities
The renovation industry is in the same position that the burger restaurant industry was in in the 1950s. It’s made up of highly fragmented one-man-bands each offering slightly different services, and with very limited opportunities to scale. The US renovation market size is $350 billion per year.
Harvard University states that the remodeling industry is the “most fragmented sector” in the US economy. There is a clear opportunity to create a scale player, driven by consumer facing marketing, and supported by strong processes and systems that can deliver a consistent consumer experience and better value outcome to homeowners.
Refresh was started several years ago by the directors of Traffic, a business consulting company that specialises in the building industry. After years of research in the construction sector the directors had a clear insight into the problems faced by homeowners and a thorough understanding of how a better model could be established.
The Future of Refresh
The market dynamics and structure for renovations in Australasia, North and South America, Europe and many other construction markets is very similar. They all have highly fragmented renovation markets and consolidated commercial construction and new home building sectors.
Refresh has been successfully piloted in NZ to prove the fundamentals of the business model. Refresh has rapidly become the leading renovation company in NZ and in a very short time it has been established throughout Australia. The business is now launching in the UK.
The business has been built on web and cloud based marketing and business management systems which are readily transferrable to new markets.
Our vision is to be the leading residential renovation business in the $2.2 trillion global renovation market.

Landscaping Specialists
Zones is a national franchise company specialising in residential landscaping projects.
Following extensive research in the building value chain, the directors of Traffic identified residential renovations and residential landscaping as two opportunities for business innovation. After years of research we had a clear insight into the problems faced by homeowners and a thorough understanding of how better models could be established for renovations and landscaping.
The landscaping market is highly fragmented and based on one man band tradesmen. There are many market structure similarities between the landscaping market and the renovation market.
Zones makes landscaping your outdoor spaces easy

The investments in creating the key platforms for Refresh were then leveraged across for Zones.
