HPM was founded in 2017 by husband and wife team, Rodney and Carol Howard, who brought complementary skill sets to the business — Rodney as an experienced and well qualified construction project management professional, and Carol as a Chartered Accountant with a strong consultancy background. A joiner by trade, Rodney moved into construction management when working in Europe. “That’s when I completed my project management qualification, and initiated my PMP (Project Management Professional) accreditation. It takes about three years before you can take the PMP exam, which I completed when I returned to New Zealand in 2010.” Rodney had been travelling between Wellington and Hawke’s Bay managing projects, when he recognised an opportunity to better service the construction industry through the establishment of a locally based practice. Located in Napier and delivering projects throughout Hawke’s Bay, Gisborne and Taupo, the HPM team operates from a beautifully restored heritage building called The Bank. “Our team all have years of experience delivering largescale construction projects both in New Zealand and overseas, which we utilise for training, learning and sharing across our business. “This is one of our own projects and we’re proud of the wonderful space we have renovated and seismically strengthened, in which we work in each day,” says Rodney. “HPM started with just me, and now we’re a team of six, with a large combined internal knowledge system. Our team all have years of experience delivering large-scale construction projects both in New Zealand and overseas, which we utilise for training, learning and sharing across our business. “Our team have a diverse range of skills and qualifications enabling us to tackle any project.” • Commercial • Residential Proudly Supporting Halcyon Project Management 06 878 0048 www.stead.co.nz office@stead.co.nz PO Box 14153, Hastings • Educational • Design & Build
