Navig8 is a construction advisory practice dedicated to setting infrastructure projects up for success – projects that shape the natural and built environment. The perspective we bring is pragmatic and purpose‑driven: we balance industry capability with commercial realities, bringing together the right people and insights to shape solutions that deliver lasting value for our clients and leave the industry stronger.
Navig8 is committed to helping set infrastructure projects on a course for long‑term success.
Founded in 2023 by Gavin Shaw, our practice draws on more than 50 years’ combined construction sector experience applying lessons from industry delivery to shape practical, insight‑driven solutions that improve outcomes for both organisations and the wider sector.
What sets Navig8 apart is the way we combine proven technical expertise with strong values, collaborative leadership, and a commitment to trusted partnership. We help clients and their teams move forward with clarity and confidence, navigating complexity while fostering a shared sense of purpose – delivering for projects today while strengthening the industry for tomorrow.
At Navig8, we bring real-world experience and a practical mindset to every challenge. We believe in working together, not just handing down advice. Progress comes from shared experience, open dialogue, and a willingness to learn and adapt alongside our clients.
We are committed to lifting capability, advancing contract practice, and championing positive change across the construction ecosystem – for the benefit of everyone involved.
Complex projects and tricky problems become clearer when you’re invited to see the bigger picture. Our approach is all about simplifying the complicated stuff, keeping people focused, and always looking for ways to make the whole sector stronger. Whether it’s navigating a challenging project or helping teams and organisations learn and grow, Navig8 is here to guide you toward better outcomes – for your people, your project, and the wider industry.
We roll up our sleeves, listen closely, and get stuck in. Whether it’s setting up a new project, sorting out a contract, or helping a team build confidence and capability, we’re practical, approachable, and always focused on what really matters. We believe in clear communication, honest advice, and working together to find the best path forward.
