Broader Outcomes

In my role as Programme Manager for Kāinga Ora I have worked with Holmes Construction on two important housing projects. Throughout the entire process the team were excellent, kept the project on programme and on budget despite the challenges of Covid 19. Health & Safety was always of an extremely high standard and overall communication with the client was exceptional. From my experience on these two projects I would not hesitate to recommend Holmes Construction and would welcome working with them again.

WSP Architecture, and our predecessors Opus Architecture (and before that the Ministry of Works), has a long history of working with the Holmes Construction team across a wide range of projects. A key feature for every project has been the calibre of the Holmes team, their attention to detail and the positive working relationships that have all led to very successful projects with delighted clients.
