Project Management

We specialise in providing specialist project management skills for parks, recreation and community projects. We understand the more complex community engagement needs in these projects often missed by other project managers and also apply our years of practical park and facility design knowledge to ensure your project meets your community need. We can also support project management with our in-house landscape architecture and planning services.

Over the years we have managed the construction of New Zealand Cycle Trails, public amenities, playgrounds, skateparks, holiday parks, temporary facilities for freedom campers and more!
