McGuire Management is People-Focused and Results-Driven. We’re Construction Project Management Partners with Purpose.

About us

McGuire Management was established as an alternative to the traditional consultancy model, offering the same depth of knowledge and expertise, but with a more agile and collaborative approach. With a strong focus on impactful construction project management, we work closely with a broad network of experts to deliver tailored solutions that suit each project and client. Integrity, collaboration, and quality-driven outcomes are at the heart of everything we do.

Having worked for large project management consultancies both locally and internationally, we asked ourselves: How can we do things differently to better serve our clients and project teams, while still delivering high-quality outcomes?

We are a boutique, dedicated team, unrestricted by the limitations of ‘big business’, which allows us to remain agile and responsive in an ever-changing world.

Why Us?

At McGuire Management, our mission is simple: to make your construction projects easier by saving you time, money and stress – while delivering high-quality outcomes.

We achieve this through proven project management processes that set every project up for success from the start. This includes:

  • Comprehensive planning and organisation during the initiation phase

  • Accurate budget and schedule management to prevent costly overruns

  • Robust risk management strategies to mitigate delays and disruptions

  • Clear, consistent communication – with us acting as your central point of contact

  • Proactive issue resolution and stakeholder alignment to keep the project moving forward.

With decades of experience in construction project management across Wellington and greater New Zealand, we’re confident in our ability to support our clients in bringing their construction visions to life. Our experienced, dedicated team works closely with clients to streamline complexity, maintain momentum, and deliver results that matter.

There’s nothing more rewarding to us than partnering with a great team to achieve outstanding project outcomes.
