Tait Electronics Campus
Tait Electronics is an internationally recognized company based in Christchurch where it is one of the region’s largest employers. Time had come for the team to rethink their operational space. For a highly respected and successful telecommunications company they wanted their workspace to reflect their progressive workplace environment.
Goom Landscapes were involved at various stages in the design process setting up the master layout plan and providing services throughout the resource consent process. More than this however is how this project showcases our construction team’s skills in a large scale commercial setting.
The project was run as a design-build contract whereby Goom Landscapes developed most of the construction details themselves including the boardwalks and bridges, bollards, paving, wall details and lighting.
Prime Minister John Key officially opened the site on the 16th April 2015.
Aspects key to the design and construction brief included:
• Create a park-like setting that is open to the public (extending the open space network of the neighbourhood directly adjoining Nunweek Park)
• Appreciate that this is the front face of Tait Electronics to which many dignitaries will be invited – it needed to reflect their high standards
• Provide a relaxing setting for the staff to retreat to – the inclusion of walking tracks, varied seating areas and exercise stations
• Use of productive garden space – the inclusion of fruit trees and food gardens
• Deliver on time and on a budget to a higher than usual commercial standard

About the
Professional
Crafting extraordinary spaces & experiences outside. When your landscaping reflects your tastes & lifestyle it allows you to get the most out of your home & property. Whether your project is urban or rural, large or small, get Goom involved. Our team are equally excited about constructing beautiful outdoor spaces for our clients in both the country & the city.
We are devoted to providing the perfect balance between beauty, functionality & personalisation for our clients.
Because of this, every step of our process has been put in place to ensure that you receive the highest level of customer service and finished standard on your project.
We understand that everyone’s ideal landscape and garden will look a little different. It could be a built-in BBQ to entertain with family & friends, a lush haven to retreat to at the end of a long workday, or a pool for your family to play and refresh in. For this reason, our landscapes are bespoke to you. They are created to draw you outside and give you a reason to relax and stay awhile.
Add value to your lifestyle & property, with timeless gardens and outdoor living spaces designed to compliment & enhance your home.
Inspired by our love of nature & power tools, we originally set out to create beautiful & functional landscapes for people that wanted nice gardens, but didn’t know where to start. However, along the way we realised that our clients needed more help & support during the build process to guide their project to a great finish – so our design, manage, construct process was born.
Since starting the process in 2014, we have helped over 300 people build 150 life spaces – individually tailored to their homes and tastes. And have many more exciting projects in the pipeline!
One of the things that sets us apart is our craftsmanship, built from over 40+ years in the landscaping industry. Because of this experience, there is rarely a problem that we haven’t encountered before – meaning we understand how to get things done – on time, on budget & to Goom standard.
You will always find us striving to better ourselves & provide the best possible customer service, as we believe that our brand is only as good as our last job.
