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.

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.
