Cover image for Our role was to procure
Our role was to procure and lead the design team for the client as a spec build development.  This started with the initial concept, through the Resource Consenting period, final pricing and estimating for the client feasibility, into building consent, procurement and through construction delivery. Added to our role as project manager, we carried out the Engineer to Contract role under NZS3916 with Calders including the tenant liaison and coordination. Due to experience with Design and Build contracts, the design process was very efficient and tailored to suit the procurement of the Contractor.

Cover image for The Kmart North
Island Distribution Centre
The Kmart North Island Distribution Centre is a 35,000m2 state of the art facility that replaced the existing facilities that Kmart had across the North Island.. Our role commenced from the initial competitive bid to Kmart, then developing the procurement strategy, through to the delivery of the project. We provided both Project Management and Engineer to the Contract services. We procured the design team and worked closely with the client for the tender to secure Kmart as the tenant. We then led the securing of a Certificate of Compliance for the Resource Consent. This enabled us to the procure and work closely with the design and build contractor on behalf of the client to ensure the project was delivered on-time, under-budget and to meet Kmart’s stringent tenant specification requirements as well as the design requirements from TGH. To ensure a smooth delivery, it was critical to create a collaborative team culture to bring together a diverse international group of designers and stakeholders.

Cover image for A new greenfield development to
create
A new greenfield development to create a new place for Aucklanders to live, work and play. Land for development is a 53-hectare site that will see residential development alongside, parks, retail and offices, located 35 kilometres south of the Auckland CBD, on key public transport and roading networks.I provided project management services during master planning and concept design to allow a Plan Change and Resource Consent for a new mixed-use town centre near the new Drury Central train station, focusing on a Transit Oriented Development (TOD). The development will include commercial, retail, residential, and community spaces as well as key roading infrastructure links.   The role was to work closely with the development team, planners, architects, urban designers and engineers to prepare a masterplan and Plan Change to bring the land forward for development and to best determine the appropriate design and staging for the project’s feasibility and to further the design and construction for the Resource Consent for the first stage of the development, including subsequent management of bulk earthworks, civil, roading, and infrastructure design and construction works.

Cover image for The Project involved the redevelopment
The Project involved the redevelopment of Gate A at Go Media Stadium, Mount Smart, addressing historic flooding, ground settlement and accessibility issues within a key arrival and operational area of the stadium. The works covered an area approximately 5,100m² and included upgrades to stormwater infrastructure, internal roads, pedestrian areas, utility services and lighting, together with new retaining structures, fencing, gates, bollards and a new public plaza.The project presented a number of challenges associated with working within an operational stadium, including complex stakeholder requirements, constrained access, existing ground conditions and the need to coordinate works around major events. A key value added to the project was the detailed communication pathways in conjunction with detailed contingency plans (lots of "how do we resolve if x happens" scenario testing), allowed us to quickly react to issues raised before or on event days things were resolved within hours to allow events to proceed unimpacted by the project works area. There were times urgent issues were raised with no construction team on site and still closed within a hour.
