But that’s the way they like it. Working to bring housing development Talima Estate to life has had exciting technical and consenting challenges but working with “responsive, innovative, professional” people had made it achievable. Fiso Group tasked our Team to produce detailed design drawings and engineering reports, prepare civil contract documents and manage the procurement process. Envelope are soon to embark on managing the construction phase of the development and then complete the land transfer survey through to obtaining completed Titles for each new lot. Envelope Business Development Manager Kyle Dirse explained there was a need for vision for what would become a two-stage development of up to 120 homes. “The area has challenging terrain and due to the Whitby Link Road Teamwork, tough terrain at Talima Estate needing to be completed before we could access the site, we had a few curve balls to handle.” Flexibility and working to the luctuating housing market and increased construction costs was also vital to ensure the project lourished. And outside the box is where Envelope likes to operate. The engineering and surveying business has been drawing outside the lines since 2015 when it started in a former egg factory in Wellington. Envelope provides civil and structural engineering, surveying, land development and subdivision project management services. While the team has grown and changed, the values which anchored Envelope from the start have not. Working as a ‘tight team’, challenging, and supporting one another, as well as celebrating success is one key. Some of their clients have been with Envelope since day one, and it is as exciting to work with them as it is to take on new work. Team members are expected to work hard but keep a balance with an equal focus on mental and physical wellbeing.
