Meet the team: Ricki Heremaia

Ricki is one of Trigg’s younger apprentices who came to us straight out of school. Ricki brings amazing positivity and an infectious sense of humour to our team.

Project Updates

It’s been another busy quarter for Trigg, which is how we like it. We handed over the 5,000m2 Marsden Bulk Store on schedule at the start of July. We’re also charging along with other projects on the go with three exciting projects in the early stages of planning or moving ahead for consent – the Ruakaka Rec Centre, Anchorage Retirement Village Apartments and a Floating Marina facility.

2022 NZ Commercial Project Awards Wins

We’re proud to share our recent wins at the NZ Commercial Project Awards. Our Hundertwasser Art Centre project was acknowledged twice, with Darrell, Marlene and the team hitting the podium and picking up Gold and Special Awards for 2022.

A once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity

The Hundertwasser Arts Centre (HAC) Wairau Māori Art Gallery is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any construction company. It was certainly a privilege for the team at Registered Master Builders Association company Trigg Construction to be entrusted with the delivery of this amazingly complex project. Managing Director Darrell Trigg explains the concept, where no two windows or doors were built the same and no repeated building patterns allowed, in the April issue of Building Today.

Wish4Fish

Trigg is a proud sponsor of Wish4Fish. This charity helps people with disabilities or mental unwellness to get out on the water and enjoy the freedom and pleasure of our ocean waters – the benefits we know very well, as mad keen boating and fishing folk ourselves.

Hard Conversations

At the end of last year, Business Coach Britta Christiansen and Darrell took part in a Master Builders Elevate webinar titled ‘Hard Conversations’ – or, as Britta prefers, conversations that matter. The webinar looked at how to have difficult but often necessary conversations with clients, staff, subbies and others.

New Trigg Website Live

Our new website is live. You’ll find information and photos of some of our favourite projects, team profiles, and news and views about construction and what we’ve been up to at work and out in the community. We’re excited to show it off, and we hope you like it as much as we do.

Hundertwasser Art Centre Open

The Hundertwasser Art Centre and Wairau Māori Art Gallery are now open. We may be a little biased, but we have to agree with others who have described it as an absolute taonga for the North and the country.

Project Updates

It’s been a busy first quarter for us. Our team is on-site and well into constructing a 5000m2 bulk store facility for Nutrinza. We’re also nearing completion on twelve 150m2 units at the Aubrey Business Centre, Marsden Cove. We’re pushing on with two new projects. The Ruakaka Recreation Centre is in detailed design for consent stage, and the Mangawhai Medical Centre is moving into the design stage now that resource consent is granted.
