What does Atlas Collective do?

Atlas Collective is a property development and consulting company helping people identify, design, and deliver high-performing projects in areas ripe for growth and ready for opportunity, often where potential isn’t immediately obvious.

We manage everything from feasibility and land acquisition through to build delivery, sales, and education, helping clients, investors, and purchasers create wealth and legacy through smart partnerships.

Do you build homes as well?

While our main focus is on land development and coaching, Yes — through our construction partner BB Construction Ltd - we deliver full design-and-build solutions.
This includes subdivisions, architectural homes, and investment builds.

Can I partner with Atlas Collective on a development?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with landowners, investors, and other developers.
While we prefer outright purchases and off-market opportunities, we also structure partnerships as joint ventures or consulting agreements, depending on your goals, contribution, and level of involvement.

Do you offer mentoring or coaching?

Yes. We offer private coaching and group mentoring programs designed to teach people how to build wealth through property development.
Our goal is to give you the tools, structure, and confidence to run your own successful projects.

What’s the difference between your consulting and coaching services?

Our consulting focuses on your specific project — helping you plan, cost, and deliver it successfully.
Our coaching focuses on you — teaching the mindset, systems, and frameworks to create wealth through property development long-term.

Where do you operate?

We’re based in the Manawatū, with a nationwide reach.
Our key focus areas include growth and interesting areas across New Zealand.

We’re especially active in regional and rural / coastal growth areas where we see strong long-term potential, opportunity, and value creation.

What type of projects do you take on?

We specialise in rural lifestyle and multi-unit residential developments, including subdivisions, new builds, and infill housing.
We also support commercial and mixed-use projects where there’s clear potential for sustainable returns and lasting legacy.

What if I have a large landholding or strong equity position?

If you have a substantial landholding near a township or growth area, or hold strong equity that could support development, we’re interested in hearing from you.
We often work with landowners to unlock value through subdivision, partnership, or strategic acquisition, depending on the opportunity.

Our focus is on sites with clear potential — where we can bring planning, design, and delivery expertise to create sustainable value for everyone involved.

What experience does the team have?

Between Atlas Collective and BB Construction, we bring over two decades of experience across construction, project management, land development, and design.
Our founders, Brendon and Stephanie Barnett, combine practical industry expertise with human-centred insight — ensuring every project is both profitable and meaningful.

Do you provide financial or investment advice?

No, our role is to educate, guide, and support.
We don’t provide regulated financial advice, handle client funds, or make investment recommendations. We always recommend seeking independent legal, financial, and accounting advice before making investment decisions.
