Our mission is to deliver projects that strengthen communities, protect vital infrastructure, and create spaces where people can thrive.” Callum Sutherland T T to page 20 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Tararua Construction Management T T Karen Phelps Building something special in Wairarapa Tararua Construction Management has been named a finalist in the 2025 Spark Business Hub Wairarapa Awards, marking a significant milestone for the young growing company. “We’re honoured to be recognised in the WBS Emerging Award category,” says Managing Director Callum Sutherland. “This nomination validates the hard work we’ve put into building something special for our region.” Tararua Construction Management (TCM) is a specialist project management consultancy that bridges the gap between clients and contractors across the healthcare, education, commercial and infrastructure sectors. Since the establishment of the company in 2018, and with its first local project kicking off in 2021, Callum and his team have delivered an impressive portfolio of high-profile projects throughout the Wairarapa and lower North Island. Notable achievements include the Hawke’s Bay Airport Terminal expansion, the Five Rivers Medical Centre and Wellington Free Ambulance facility in Greytown and the $2.85 million Lincoln Road seismic upgrade, which strengthened the three-storey building to 70% of the New Building Standard while tenants remained operational throughout. “We’re more than project managers, we’re trusted partners,” explains Callum. “Our mission is to deliver projects that strengthen communities, protect vital infrastructure, and create spaces where people can thrive.” What sets TCM apart is its balanced, dual-perspective approach. As a Senior Project Manager with over 25 years’ experience, Callum has led landmark projects such as the Thai Embassy, Molesworth Street seismic upgrade, Rugby Union fitout and the Wellington Railway Station seismic upgrade while working for a Tier 1 construction company.
