ABOUT US
Building a Stronger Community in Tairāwhiti
MISSION
"Construction with purpose" — Our Mission is to see our community thrive through our activity.
Through our mission we have gained a strong buy in from our wider network from clients to contractors, consultants, to our staff and their families. We're in this for the long haul and cannot do it without them.
OUR NAME AND HERITAGE
Our name, Te Pae Hākari, is inspired by the historical practice of Hākari—traditional feast ceremonies. Our Tohu (logo) derives from large historical structures built for these feasts.
These gatherings are an opportunity to share with one another, and our commitment is to apply this in in our work, where we share and support our supply to thrive.
EMBRACING AN ECONOMY OF MANA
For us, Te Pae Hākari embodies the concept of an Economy of Mana, a philosophy championed by the late Dr. Manuka Henare. This approach goes beyond delivering outstanding services to our clients. We are dedicated to achieving broader outcomes, utilizing every opportunity to uplift and develop those we work with—whether staff, contractors, or other stakeholders. Our explicit intent is to ensure that everyone we collaborate with experiences growth, in one way or another.
