BD Building Projects – A trans-Tasman partnership built on workforce continuity

The challenge

BD Building Projects needed a visa solution to retain highly skilled workers on Working Holiday Visas in Australia, who were approaching their six-month employment restriction. They wanted to keep these valuable team members on board by transferring them to a longer-term visa, ensuring continuity on key construction projects.

Our solution

Our team provided expert advice on eligibility and employer requirements, managing the full nomination and visa application process. We also supported candidates in applying for waivers to continue working while their new visas were being processed, minimising disruption and keeping projects moving.

The outcome

The result? Workers stayed on site, visa transfers were approved, and BD Building Projects avoided the cost and disruption of replacing key team members. It’s a win for the business and a win for the workers – supporting long-term opportunities and workforce stability.

Client feedback

“Working In made the visa process straightforward and stress-free. Their advice was spot on, and they took care of everything, allowing us to keep the people we needed. Highly recommend.”
– Brendan, BD Building Projects

A long-term relationship

We’ve worked with BD Building Projects since 2015 and were proud to support them again when they expanded into New Zealand in 2018. As a trusted partner across both countries, we continue to help them build a reliable workforce and navigate trans-Tasman visa pathways.
