Last week, we celebrated an incredible milestone, Dion Russell's 40 years with LT McGuinness.

Joining the team in 1986 as a labourer, Dion’s hard work, determination and commitment quickly saw him progress through the business, completing a construction cadetship while studying at night and raising a young family.

Over the past four decades, Dion has led some of LT McGuinness’ most significant projects, including Clyde Quay Wharf, Chews Lane, Bowen State and Odlins/NZX. Known for his high standards, leadership and willingness to mentor others, Dion has played a huge role in shaping our business and the people within it.

A true LT legend.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Mark "Tiwai" Cowan.

Tiwai was a cherished member of the LT McGuinness whānau for 29 years, joining the company in 1995 and retiring at Christmas 2024.

Throughout his time with us, Tiwai was known for his positive outlook, infectious smile, strong work ethic, and willingness to help others. He built lasting friendships across our business and leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond the projects he worked on. He will be remembered with great respect and affection by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our heartfelt condolences are with Tiwai's family, friends, and all who knew and loved him during this incredibly difficult time.

While we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the remarkable person he was and the lasting impact he made on our people, our culture, and our company. An LT McGuinness legend, forever remembered and forever part of our whānau.

Moe mai rā, Tiwai.

As the stars of Matariki rise, our crane lights shine in recognition of this special time of reflection, remembrance, and new beginnings.

Lighting up the skyline is our way of acknowledging the significance of Matariki. It’s a reminder that construction is about more than building structures. It’s about creating places and communities for the future, while taking time to reflect and reconnect with whānau and friends.

He wā mō te whakanui, te mahara, me te noho tahi ki te whānau me ngā hoa

From everyone at LT McGuinness, we wish you a happy Matariki.

We were stoked to welcome Martin Good from The Breeze Hawke's Bay 97.5FM to Heretaunga House for a behind-the-scenes look and fulfil his Tower Crane Adventure.

Martin suited up, climbed the tower crane, and took in some incredible skyline views of not only the construction site but of Hastings. A big thank you to Martin and The Breeze for taking the time to visit. We hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we enjoyed having you on site!

LTs is incredibly proud and grateful for Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui – Wellington Central Library taking out the Master Builders Supreme Award for Projects over $10m, on Friday night - for the second year running.

This project brought out the very best in our team. It demanded technical innovation, a deep respect for heritage, particularly the restoration of Sir Ian Athfield’s work - and years of commitment and hard yards. For everyone involved, it was a privilege to help restore such an iconic landmark for Wellington City.

Another standout on the night was Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga - the new Archives Building, which received the Carters Commercial Project Award, along with the BIM Award.

A huge thank you to Master Builders for a great evening.

An awesome moment for our Palmerston North Airport team to now officially be a MATES in Construction accredited site!
Its our second site in our Central region to reach this milestone, it's a solid reflection of the way the team looks out for each other, on and off the tools.
Checking in, speaking up, and supporting your mates - that’s what it’s all about.

This year we had two LT McGuinness crews on the water - one from the FAS project at Parliament (bringing everyone together, from labourers to consultants), and another LTM and Warren and Mahoney team representing the wider crew energy.

We were stoked to take out 1st and 2nd at the Wellington Dragon Boat Festival, but the real win was seeing our people show up for each other, dig deep, and paddle as one.

Kotahi tātou, kia kaha tātou!

Introducing LTM’s Digital Workshop!

Well-run construction should involve building things twice first digitally, then physically. At LT McGuinness, our Digital Workshop brings together cutting-edge digital tools with 75 years of construction knowledge to solve challenges in the model before they reach site.

Our in-house team works alongside project teams and subcontractors from concept to completion to help design, coordinate and build with greater accuracy and efficiency. This is now providing the foundation for our teams to take on some of Aotearoa’s most complex builds.

We’re proud to be on this journey with our partners, and excited about where digital takes our industry next.

19/12/2025

That’s a wrap on 2025! We’re incredibly proud for what our team has achieved this year and grateful for the projects, partnerships, and people who made it happen.

From our team to yours - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄
