Site visits don't get much better than this 🌅⛴️

Today the team headed over to Waiheke Island for construction observation, catching an incredible sunrise on the ferry from the city along the way.

It's great to get out on site and see our projects’ progress firsthand. From city centres to coastal communities and everywhere in between, we're fortunate to work on projects across New Zealand and the Pacific.

Not a bad way to start the day!

Stormwater is a taonga.

Geraldine recently attended the Stormwater Conference & Expo 2026 in Tāmaki Makaurau, spending three days learning, connecting and exploring the future of stormwater management in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

As part of the conference, Geraldine visited two South Auckland projects:

*Te Aka Raataa, Stage 1, Wiri - A stream naturalisation project.
*Hayman Park / Manukau Noa Iho, Manukau CBD - A park regeneration project with a new wetland and gross pollutant trap.

Geraldine came away inspired by the work being done, and with one key takeaway: engineers need to speak plainly. This reflects a core part of our philosophy at Markplan: you shouldn’t have to be an engineer to deal with one. Stormwater projects can be complex, but clear communication helps people understand what is happening, why it matters, and how these projects help shape healthier places to live.

🏗️ A recent project at the boutique Grand Hotel & Casino Vanuatu, highlights the value of practical seismic engineering in existing buildings.

Working with Cyrille Mainguy of Mainguy Consulting Engineer and Project Management and Vancorp Construction, our team focused on critical seismic strengthening utilising in-situ reinforcement of shear walls and the introduction of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP). FRP is a commonly used seismic strengthening material that provides tensile strength while doubling as a fantastic space-saver.

Our team conducted a site walkthrough after completion with the hotel’s Managing Director, Bettina Mahieu, and were thoroughly impressed by the high quality of construction. These strengthening works have meaningfully improved the building’s resilience, helping ensure it remains fit for continued use for many years to come, supporting both the client and the wider community.

It was also a unique highlight to see Markplan featured in the New Zealand Herald! Engineers don't often get a spotlight in the travel inserts, so we are thrilled to see the "bones" of a beautiful destination get some well-deserved recognition.

A meaningful morning, last Wednesday, in Warkworth at The Power of Support Women’s Breakfast.

Vivienne, Ashley and Lauren attended the before-work event, which brought local women together to reflect on what support really looks like in life, work and community.

We heard from guest speaker media personality Matilda Green, who spoke openly about support through career, motherhood and life’s changing seasons. One line that really stayed with us was:

“To have community, you need to be community.”

We also heard from the inspiring speakers from Hestia Rodney Women's Refuge, who shared raw and important insight into their work supporting women to rebuild and move forward after crisis.

Thank you to WRMK Lawyers for hosting and delivering such a thoughtful event, and to One Mahurangi, Warkworth, Warkworth Business Association for supporting it.

A powerful reminder of the value of connection, community and showing up for one another.

Meet Lauren, who has recently joined the Markplan team in our Auckland office as Sales and Administration Support.

Lauren brings a background in communications, marketing, events and administration, mostly across the not-for-profit and community sector.

Outside of work, Lauren loves nature, native birdsong, interesting art and music, and getting outdoors whenever she can. This photo was taken at the top of the Duke’s Nose summit in Northland, with birdsong in the background (sound on) from one of her favourite walks at Tāwharanui.

We’re thrilled to have Lauren join us! Head to our website to learn more about Lauren and the rest of the Markplan team: https://markplan.co.nz/our-people/our-team/

Last week, Glen had the pleasure of heading along to a Wao Aotearoa Better Building breakfast event in Queenstown and it’s safe to say it was a pretty inspiring way to start the day.

The session launched This Is How We Build, a new training series focused on building smarter, reducing waste, and creating more resilient spaces for the future. With so many great minds in the room, from across the building and construction sector, the kōrero was both informative and thought provoking.

One clear message really stood out:
Design out the waste. When there is waste, find something positive to do with it.

And speaking of doing something positive with waste… Glen was lucky enough to win and walk away with this cute benchtop compost bin from the event. 👏 A great reminder that small, practical changes can make a real difference.

Big thanks to Wao Aotearoa Better Building for hosting such an engaging and insightful morning. It’s clear there’s a real momentum building towards a more circular, sustainable future in our industry 🌱
