Teaming up with Tumu Property as Main Contractor for Heretaunga House - a landmark project for Hastings and a meeting of two multi-generational, family-led teams. This marks our first build in Hawke’s Bay, powered by over 70 years of experience from Wellington and a growing national footprint across Auckland, Tauranga, and Palmerston North. We’re bringing deep mass-timber expertise and a model-first approach to set the project up for success from day one. Heretaunga House is more than square metres - it’s a space designed to support people and strengthen the region.

Over the past month, LT McGuinness has had the privilege of working alongside Smith Cranes and Construction, McMillan Civil, and RCP, in collaboration with the United States Navy Seabees, to deliver the piling and concrete abutment works for the Discovery Pier project at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The project forms part of the Antarctica Infrastructure Recapitalisation (AIR) programme, led by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) and supported by Antarctica New Zealand, to replace the existing ice wharf which has become increasingly unstable due to the impacts of climate change. The works included the extraction of five 25 m-long ice piles frozen in place after a severe Condition 1 storm earlier this year, followed by drilling and placing a total of twelve piles to receive precast concrete abutments. These will connect to a barge currently en route from the United States and scheduled to arrive in February 2026. Our involvement has provided valuable insight into the complexities of building in Antarctic conditions, informing our continued role in the Scott Base Redevelopment. Over the 2025–2026 summer season, our team will return to complete excavation works and support the installation of the pier’s structural connections.

LTM are very proud of the team mahi bringing together all our regions for this year’s IronMāori. With close to 50 participants, supported by friends and whānau, we took part in the Half and Quarter events - some taking on the full distance solo, others smashing individual legs as runners, swimmers, cyclists, or part of a team. Our base camp was perfectly situated to cheer everyone home. Napier turned on a great day - cool to start, then sunshine to match the awesome vibe. Huge shout-out to our first-timers and returning athletes hitting personal bests. Everyone did amazing - we’ll be back next year.

Thrilled to see our achievements recognised by Property Council New Zealand - congratulations to our 90 Devonport Road team on delivering on time, under budget and with standout environmental, cultural and operational outcomes. And a special celebration for James Haworth for leading one of Aotearoa’s most ambitious mass-timber office builds with clarity, care and momentum. Ngā mihi to our incredible partners and everyone who helped bring this to life!

We're making exciting progress at Te Manawataki O Te Papa for Tauranga City Council and Willis Bond.    The Art Gallery is now complete, the new Community Hub + Library is looking fantastic and now powering through fitout, and the Museum has had a strong start with structural steel now going up!   Our in-house LTM Digital Workshop has been at the forefront of our operations - digitally constructing each building before it’s built on-site. This has streamlined co-ordination across the trades and helped navigate the complexities of the buildings.   This redevelopment is set to deliver a civic heart that Tauranga can truly call its own - we're incredibly proud to be a part of it!

The Te Mataiphi team is proud to share that Te Matapihi Ki te Ao Nui Central Library reached Practical Completion in August.   This three-year journey saw the library restored to above new building standards, with a modern fit-out and refreshed exterior. It’s been a huge team effort between LTM, our subcontractors, consultants, and council—overcoming challenges from tricky ground conditions to complex structural works.   Wellingtonians can look forward to the library’s official reopening in early 2026, with shelving and furniture being installed ahead of the books’ return. Te Matapihi, the “living room” of Wellington, is nearly back.   Client: Wellington City Council Architect: Athfield Architects Ltd Project Manager: RCP Quantity Surveyor:Rider Levett Bucknall RLB Structural Engineer: Aurecon
