Rangituia, a two-storey new build on a Whangamatā hillside

Project management

Building project management in Whangamatā

One project manager runs your build from consent through to handover. Site meetings scheduled, sub-trades booked ahead of the programme, materials ordered against it, and a straight answer the moment something changes.

The TPS Way

A build does not usually come apart on the tools. It comes apart in the gaps.

Between consent and start. Between one trade finishing and the next arriving. Between a decision made on site and the owner hearing about it. Our job is to close those gaps.

What we manage

One person accountable for the whole programme

We build for locals and for owners who live somewhere else and get here when they can. That second group shapes how we run a job.

How it runs

Our project management process

01

Consultation and site visit

We start with a site visit and a proper conversation about scope, budget and timing. We look at access, levels and what the section allows.

02

Design, consent and pricing

We work alongside your architect, designer and engineers to get the plans buildable, then price the job and manage the consent.

03

Build

The build runs to the programme set in planning. Sub-trades are booked in advance and materials ordered against it.

04

Handover

Final walkthrough, keys and the documentation set. The work is covered by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee.

Building from out of town

Built for owners who are not on site

One project manager

You deal with the same person from consent through to handover, rather than whoever happens to be on site.

Site meetings

Scheduled, not improvised, and you are welcome at every one. If you cannot get to Whangamatā we bring the meeting to you.

Council liaison

We manage the consent process and the inspections that go with it. You do not need to be in the country.

Documentation

Kept as the job goes rather than scrambled together at the end, and handed over as one set.

A worked example

What it looks like when the job changes

A reclad of a beachfront holiday home at 12 Tuna Place started as straightforward work. Once the existing cladding came off, we uncovered extensive corrosion in the structural steel.

We went back to the owners with what we had found, what it meant, and a plan. The compromised steel, framing and joinery on the affected side were removed, the building was propped, and new zinc-sprayed structural steel went in before the new cladding.

None of that was in the original scope. It is a fair example of why the programme, the pricing and the communication have to absorb a surprise without the job stalling.

The TPS Way

I understand the complexities and potential stress this journey brings, which is why I have created a framework to make it a smooth process for our clients.

How we work before the plans are locked in

Talk to us before the programme is set.

The earlier we are involved, the more of the programme we can actually control. Call Bryce, or send through whatever plans you have.
