68 | Celebrating 65 years in business The Holmes team has led the building works at Greytown Orchards, a retirement community that stands out in the wider Wellington region for its unique quality and style. from page 66 Holmes Construction Group BUILDING With Tim based in Wellington and Andy leading the Greytown team, the two companies flourished. From Wairarapa, Holmes began undertaking projects as far afield as Auckland, Rotorua and the Chatham Islands, while Holmes Wellington started securing council contracts and working with larger developers and government departments. By 2020, the two companies had merged to better share resources and unify the Holmes brand across Wellington and Wairarapa. Holmes’ legacy of achievement was celebrated in October 2022, as Holmes Construction Ltd marked 65 years in business. While Tim and Andy are still actively involved as Directors, the next generation is now coming forward with Will’s grandson Ben Holmes at the helm as Managing Director. As the company moves into its next phase, Holmes is grounded in its traditions while looking to the future as it continues to undertake ambitious projects and bring great designs to life. Today, the Holmes Group has an enviable safety record and a strong reputation for quality construction throughout the lower North Island across commercial and high-end residential projects, as well as in the field of heritage restoration and refurbishment. Their one-team approach of bringing together specialised individuals – from design through to build – enables success and ensures delivery of the best outcomes. “As a family-owned business, our approach reflects traditional Kiwi values,” says Ben. “We are honest, fair and hardworking. By combining traditional skills with exceptional project management and a collaborative approach, we deliver the best possible results on projects.” Over the past 65 years, the company has been involved with many landmark projects in the place where it all started with Will and his grandad. These projects have included the refurbishment of the Greytown Town Hall and the redevelopment of the iconic Greytown Council Borough Chambers building that was repurposed to include a retail storefront for local business Blackwell and Sons. On the outskirts of Greytown, on a former orchard site, the Holmes team has led the building works Greytown Orchards, a retirement community that stands out in the wider Wellington region for its unique quality and style. Last October, the Holmes team were proud to be at the officially opening of the Nga Waka Cellar Door and in 2023 will be handing over another exciting local project – the Greytown School R Block project. “As a family-owned business, our approach reflects traditional Kiwi values.
