Power, water and air for the Pacific.
We design and document the electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and fire services for hospitals, terminals, resorts and utilities, and we stay on the job through commissioning.
Where would you like to start?
Most enquiries reach us at one of four moments. Tell us which one you are at and we will point you to the right engineer.
Four services under one roof.
Engage a single service where that is all the job calls for, or the full set for one coordinated services model with one engineer accountable for it.
Supply, switchboards, standby generation and lighting, sized for island tariffs and island outages.
Air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration designed for humidity, salt air and long spare-parts lead times.
Water, drainage, gas, detection and suppression, documented so it clears consent the first time.
Programme, contract administration, site inspection and commissioning witness from first sketch to handover.
Four theatres in a hospital that could not close.
A regional hospital needed four operating theatres, a new sterilising department and a medical gas upgrade, inside a campus that could not lose power or clean air for a single shift. We split the works into essential and non-essential boards, built the changeover around generator testing windows, and witnessed every commissioning run with the clinical team present.

Started in Suva in 2002, and still run by the engineer who started it.
Temo Consulting was established by Phillip Temo to give Fijian projects a local building services consultancy, rather than a branch office reporting to another country. The first commissions were small electrical fitouts in Suva. The practice grew by being the team that stayed on site through commissioning.
Today we cover four service lines from one office and work across Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, New Zealand and Australia. The way we work has not changed: one engineer accountable, drawings that can be built, and a phone that gets answered when the site does not match them.
Phillip Temo
Phillip opened the practice in Suva in 2002, after building services experience across the Pacific and Australasia. He sets the design intent on every commission and is the contact for clients throughout construction.
Based in Suva, working across the Pacific.
We travel to site. Documentation is prepared to the codes and consent requirements of the country the project is in, and our engineers attend commissioning wherever the job is.
