When you have a team of 16 builders and various support staff, you have a huge collective knowledge on staff.
But, we are not satisfied with that alone!
Every year, we all try to increase our knowledge, skills and expertise. The majority of our team are currently undertaking some form of professional development. AND we love supporting each other.
Recently, we took our team and their families for a team building trip to fun-filled Tūrangi . We found lots of things to entertain ourselves with such as: the Tongariro crossing, Thermal pools, fishing and an epic Plov battle!
Here’s the Helicon team enjoying all Tūrangi had to offer:
Timofey is a qualified builder with over 40 years of experience, running a construction business in New Zealand since 2002. He specialises in high-end residential homes, particularly in concrete construction, including aerated and in-situ concrete panels. Timofey is also a Certified Passive House tradesman and helped deliver our first Passive House project in 2021.
For the past 10 years, Igor has led a dedicated team delivering well-crafted, high-performance buildings. Prior to moving to New Zealand, he worked with global multinational companies in the finance sector across Central and South Pacific Asia. At Helicon, Igor oversees project management, contract management, and compliance.
Dasha Tarasova is a NZIA-registered architect specialising in high-end residential design, bringing a refined, design-led approach to her role with the Helicon team. She works closely with architects, consultants, and builders to guide projects from concept through to completion, maintaining a strong focus on spatial quality, proportion, and material expression. Her approach is meticulous and highly collaborative, with particular attention to craftsmanship, weathertightness, and the long-term performance of the building envelope.
