Tom Worthington

Tom Worthington is a qualified builder, plumber and recently certified passive house tradesman in the Coromandel area. 

Beginning his construction career in plumbing and gas fitting before transitioning into carpentry gives him a multi disciplinary perspective to some of the challenges presented in building a passive house. 

Tom is passionate about almost every aspect of building and cares about getting the best outcomes possible on any project.

His curiosity about building science, high performance building methods and challenging projects naturally led him into the passive house space.

Based in Whitianga, Tom is part of the team at PJ Builders working towards the completion of their first passive house project this year. So far so good!

Being a newcomer to the scene, Tom is here to share his honest reflections on the recent learning curve and provide a fresh perspective to the added layer of complexity that comes with building a passive house.
