A wonderful project to be involved in.

Construction is just the beginning, the real outcome is what follows. This project will provide 50–100 years of security, dignity, and support to whānau, and that’s the part that matters most.

Proud of the team behind it, and the impact it will have on the community for generations to come.

Waipapa Green is a multi-stage residential development by New Zealand Housing Foundation, delivering approximately 100 affordable homes on the Ōmokoroa Peninsula near Tauranga. The project is primarily targeted at first-home buyers, supported through a shared equity model that helps households bridge the gap into home ownership.

The development includes a mix of detached homes, duplexes, and terraced typologies, ranging from one to three levels, and is being delivered across four stages. Stage 1 is now complete, with future stages progressing through design, consenting, procurement, and construction planning.

PJM has provided end-to-end project management support across both the civil and subdivision works, and the design, consenting and delivery of the staged housing programme. Our role has included coordinating civil delivery and infrastructure staging, managing interfaces between works packages, supporting tendering and procurement processes, and providing construction administration and delivery oversight through Stage 1.

Developments of this scale require careful management of infrastructure sequencing, approvals and service connections, and the constant balancing act of cost certainty, programme certainty, and buildability across a multi-year delivery horizon. PJM’s value has been in providing structure, coordination, and clear decision-making pathways to keep the overall masterplan moving forward—without losing control of the detail.

The masterplanning responds to the site’s natural topography and environmental setting, integrating walking and cycling connections, working with the contours of the land, and balancing communal and private spaces while maintaining efficient density. The result is a cohesive neighbourhood with consistent but varied built form, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

15 mins of fame with the minister using one of our sites for the Govt’s social housng policy launch.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AVdLDV1zJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Last Friday I launched our new Housing Investment Plan, a major shift to making sure we provide better social housing to those in need.

I summarise it like this: "Building the right houses, in the right place, for the right people, with the right support".

What does this mean?

Well, we need many more 1 and 2 bedroom units around the country. 55% on the waitlist for social housing need a 1 bedroom unit - but that isn't what we've been building. That is changing.

We need to build in the right place. We're now taking a very detailed look at regional need and making sure we build in the places where it'll make the biggest difference. The new system means we'll be prioritising the Far North, South Auckland, the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, and Hastings, plus our major centres.

And we need to focus on people in the most need. Broadly, that means Māori, single parents with dependent children, older people, people with disabilities and – particularly in South Auckland – Pacific peoples.

We've set up a new Flexible Fund to commission new houses which allows providers to bring forward solutions that best meet local demand. Instead of forcing good ideas into rigid categories, we can support interventions that target need and offer strong value for money.

We have also made affordable rentals eligible for the Fund. Affordable rentals bridge the gap between intensive support like social housing and lighter support like the Accommodation Supplement. This helps remove the financial cliff that can discourage people from moving toward housing independence.

Taradale Police Station - this is going to be a seriously cool modular build, far more than your standard off-site prefab classroom.

Looking forward to being on site when the modules start dropping into place and sharing progress photos as it all comes together.

PJM Project Management Ltd are the client-side PM's on this one.

𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 - planned maintenance and remediation projects are never just about repairing buildings, they’re about the owners, building committees, body corporate and people who live in them.

We focus on making the process clear and manageable: listening first, giving straight answers, and keeping everyone informed while we manage the complexity behind the scenes.

Delivering Quality in Rotorua – PJM Supporting Another Community-Led Housing Project

We’re pleased to share that PJM Project Management Ltd is providing client-side project management, procurement, and construction management services for a new housing development in Rotorua.

This is another great example of our ongoing commitment to supporting social and affordable housing initiatives across Aotearoa. Working alongside trusted partners, we are focused on delivering projects that not only meet time, cost, and quality expectations—but also create real impact for the communities they serve.

The rentals will target essential workers in healthcare, education and emergency services.

Watchfield Close, Māngere, is a multi-unit residential complex that provides 19 high-quality, affordable 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes for families. Developed by New Zealand Housing Foundation, these Homestar-rated homes provide warm, dry living environments with low running costs. Families purchase these homes through a co-ownership programme - https://lnkd.in/ggi_xdiS

PJM served as the client-side project manager, providing design, project management, cost control, construction observation, and contract administration services.

We were engaged at a critical stage when rising costs and site constraints needed fresh thinking, and conducted a design competition with reputable architects, aiming to optimise the site layout. This process led to and improved design over the initial scheme, the addition of two homes, reduced driveway areas and enhanced development aesthetics, ultimately improving the projects profitability.

PJM and NZHF engaged in an ECI (Early Contractor Involvement) process with a preferred civil contractor and builder. This collaboration allowed us to explore time and cost-saving options by leveraging the contractors' expertise in materials, construction staging, and methodology. This approach resulted in additional cost savings and provided early price certainty for our client.

Hāngī Time!!

Celebrating the milestone of finishing Stage One Civil works at Waipapa Green in Ōmokoroa on Friday afternoon.

Thank you to the CB Civil team for preparing the hāngī and inviting the local neighborhood to meet the project delivery team, see progress across all project stages of Waipapa Green (100 x shared-ownership affordable housing project), and share in achieving this important milestone.

On a more personal note – my diet got pushed back (another) week! It's been a long time since I’ve had ginger cake, canned fruit, and custard dessert (just as good as I remember from childhood!).
