Understanding Well-being
Te Whare Tapa Whā Model
We embrace a holistic view of well-being, guided by the Māori health model, Te Whare Tapa Whā. This framework sees health as a balanced house with four interconnected walls:
- Taha Tinana (physical health),
- Taha Hinengaro (mental/emotional health),
- Taha Whānau (social health), and
- Taha Wairua (spiritual health).
Just as a house needs all four walls to be strong, our overall well-being relies on the balance of these dimensions. We encourage you to consider each of these aspects in your journey to wellness
Providing safe and fair working conditions for our people
Sustainability in the workplace is about taking the responsibility to provide equal employment opportunities, irrespective of ethnicity, nationality, sexuality or gender. It’s about paying people a fair wage, supporting diversity and providing safe working environments so our employees can go home to their families each night.
Making sustainability profitable
Construction still needs to be profitable, otherwise it wouldn’t attract investors. The costs of construction come down to labour and materials, so we constantly seek ways to keep costs down and still build sustainably. We can do this by sourcing local materials, building more efficiently though standardisation, and innovating processes to save time, such as with prefabrication, which reduces labour times on site.
Building with purpose
Building with purpose is twofold. It encompasses taking a positive, proactive approach to sustainability in every aspect of our business, and it includes applying this approach to every building we erect. Sustainability flows on to the people living, using or working in a building. We factor in health and safety, creating comfortable environments, thermal efficiency for lower energy consumption and other factors, so the building itself supports continued sustainability for our people and planet.
