Mō tō mātou āhuatanga | Who we are
Tonkin + Taylor is New Zealand’s leading engineering and environmental consultancy, renowned for our technical excellence in solving complex challenges. We are proudly a New Zealand, employee-owned company and our collective mission is to create and sustain a better world.
T+T is proudly part of Piritahi – an alliance of companies formed to speed up the supply of build-ready land. We’re working on the large-scale developments in Auckland overseen by Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities. We prepare government-owned land for development and deliver new and upgraded infrastructure and amenity on behalf of Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities.
Our responsibilities include pre-construction and delivery of programmes of work that include the removal of old state houses no longer fit for purpose; land remediation; arranging consents related to earthworks and infrastructure; construction of roads, parks and utilities, and looking after the communities we’re working in as we go.
We also have several focus areas spanning our scope of work, meaning we collaborate to create outcomes that are far from business as usual! Be part of the Piritahi alliance developing a practical solution to Auckland’s housing challenges.
