Built by Experience, Backed by Vision

TCM was established in 2006 by Gary and Jane—two professionals from very different worlds who saw the same problem and decided to fix it.

As an insurance assessor, Gary struggled to find reliable contractors for everything from minor repairs to major rebuilds—especially during the building boom. Jane, a former banker with sharp business instincts, saw the opportunity to bring structure and systems to an often chaotic industry.

Together, they launched TCM with a simple idea: make it easy for clients to access trusted staff and subtrades across construction and maintenance. From a leaky roof to a full renovation, TCM coordinates the right people—saving time, reducing stress, and lifting quality. Insurance repairs remain a core service, backed by Gary’s expertise and a process designed to be smooth and stress-free.

As co-founders and directors, Gary and Jane built TCM on hard work, hands-on experience, and careful selection of the best people.

Alongside our wider building work, TCM is proud to be the Taranaki agent for Leisure Pools, supplying premium fibreglass swimming pools known for durability, smart design, and hassle-free installation.

Today, TCM continues to thrive—guided by the same values that sparked its creation: trust, quality, and a clear vision for better building.
