Subdivision work mainstay for firm Karen Phelps The Franklin area of Auckland is growing and TDM Construction has been involved in a number of subdivision developments. The latest it is working on is a residential subdivision called Kohekohe Heights in Bush Road, Pukekohe East, for a local developer which will see 32 lots developed ranging in size from 4220 square metres to 13ha. TDM Construction started work on the site in mid-November and the civil works part of the project is earmarked for completion next month. TDM Construction will complete earthworks, drainage, stormwater and services such as power and phone as well as roading. The site which totals around 79ha is one of the largest that TDM Construction has worked on in terms of land mass. Growth is seeing the Franklin area develop quickly and keeping the company busy, says one of TDM Construction’s directors Todd Black. In the past few years TDM Construction has completed work on a number of other subdivisions in the area including Bombay Heights (Bombay), Fletcher Lane (Patumahoe), Bella Vista (Pukekohe Hill), Westside Road (Port Waikato) and Glory Way (Pukekohe). TDM Construction was started in 2004 by Todd and his brothers Dean and Marc. The brothers have come from a family involved in the construction industry and Todd says that their parents Peter and Annette have been fundamental to the successful growth of the business over the past 12 years. Todd and Dean are qualified drainlayers while Todd also has a qualification in civil engineering and experience in land development. Company transport manager Marc is a qualified mechanic. All the skills of the brothers add to the mix of the successful business they operate, says Todd. Todd is responsible for the overall running of the company while Dean oversees major infrastructure drainage and Marc takes charge of the company workshop and fleet. Located between Hamilton and Auckland, TDM Construction services this region. Civil drainage contracting, for clients such as Ryman Healthcare, Fulton Hogan and Downer, forms the mainstay of work.
The Kohekohe Heights residential subdivision at Pukekohe East, will see 32 lots developed ranging in size from 4220 square metres to 13ha. Subdivision work makes up the remainder of the mix and TDM Construction takes pride in the fact that most services can be completed by the in-house team of around 35 staff. Todd says this results in greater control over quality and timing of projects. “We have a really stable talented crew who offer our clients a lot of experience,” he says. “This is complemented by younger staff coming through who bring new ideas and energy.” He says continual investment in the latest plant is an important aspect of the business and ensuring a high quality end result for clients on time and on budget. The fleet includes 13 diggers, eight truck and trailer units, five loader/tele handlers, two motor scrapers, two graders and four rollers.
