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.
