Prier and Associates was founded in early 2022 after Chris Prier decided to transition from his commercial construction career.

Chris aimed to bring the processes and agility used in commercial construction to the repair space, and since then, the company has grown significantly.

In response to the traumatic weather events of 2023 through Auckland and Hawkes Bay, PAAM expanded across multiple regions in both the North and South Islands to better serve its customers. Amy Benson joined the company shortly after, further bolstering our ability to offer excellent service during some of life’s most challenging events.
