Chester Street West was a project that had it all.
Between having to source procurement from the international market, including raw granite and light fittings from Italy to meet the owners design brief, through to complex engineering
to ensure that the new buildings would withstand the rigors of a post-earthquake environment.
Due to the original cladding option losing its Branz appraisal post consent, the design and building team had to very quickly research and source an equivalent system to ensure that
the aesthetics and compliance for the project were both met. Further to this, significant work was required on the procurement front to mitigate any negative impact on the project timeline because of the last-minute change imposed by
council.
Overall, both buildings were delivered to a very high standard and with only minor delays, despite the adverse challenges faced throughout the build.
In January 2019, a fire broke out in a home, causing extensive fire and smoke damage internally and externally. The fire damaged the roof, and many rooms suffered significant structural damage to the walls and flooring. Although the house was repairable, this unforeseen event caused disruption and stress for the occupants.
We carried out a site visit with the homeowner and a fire investigator as soon as possible. We conducted a thorough inspection of the home and then completed the scope of works. As the house was repairable, we arranged for an architect to complete the design and building consent requirements for a new roof structure, replacement framing and bracing. We organised a strip out of all fire, and smoke damaged linings to confirm the extent of the damage, including the kitchen's vinyl flooring, which contained asbestos. Finally, we arranged contractors to complete the repairs, including specialist contractors to remove contaminated soil from the affected areas following Council guidelines.
Our skilled staff quickly and efficiently organised for the repairs to be undertaken and finished so that the home would be safe and liveable again. We ensured all works were completed within the specified timeframe of four months, with all parties signing a practical completion certificate.
