Looking after your mind is just as important as staying physically safe on site.
Live Well Build Well is here to help New Zealand’s residential construction workers thrive – mentally, emotionally, and physically. It’s a practical, down-to-earth initiative built for tradies, by tradies.
We’re gearing up for our next big step and inviting like-minded companies to be part of the change as a Cornerstone Partner.
Get behind a nationwide movement that’s positive, no-nonsense, and all about keeping our tradies mentally fit – on-site and off.

LIVE WELL BUILD WELL – SHOUTOUT
Today we recognise Brett, a brick and block layer working across the Rodney area of Auckland.
Brett shared how he leans on simple Eastern Taoism principles to stay steady in a tough trade. He’s learnt to take responsibility for his response to challenges, rather than reacting on autopilot. By observing his emotional state, he creates a gap for calm, clarity, and resilience, even on the hardest days onsite.
Brett’s approach is a powerful reminder that mental fitness isn’t about perfection. It’s about pausing, noticing what’s going on inside, and choosing the response that keeps you grounded.
Well done Brett, building strong from the inside out.
If you believe in stronger, healthier builders/tradies, like, follow and share.

Praising Ryan from Waller Projects today.
Ryan shared a powerful reminder that tough times never last and better days are always ahead. It’s a simple truth that carries real weight on site and in life.
His perspective highlights how resilience helps us push through challenges and build inner strength, one day at a time.
Thanks Ryan for bringing that mindset to the team and for supporting the message of mental fitness in our industry.

Shoutout to Ryan Mac Menigall, Builder at Waller Projects working on the Taylors Rd project in Auckland.
Ryan believes that mental health is strengthened through relationships and collaboration. When we look out for each other, talk openly, and work as a team, the job becomes lighter and the day becomes better.
Thank you Ryan for leading by example and showing what real strength looks like.
