Thrilled with completed Kainga Ora flat
February 1, 2021
Work is well underway at the Maitland Street, Dunedin, Kāinga Ora social housing units.
One of the two 1960's social housing blocks has been modernised having all new plumbing, insulation, wiring, kitchens and bathrooms.
The first block of 14 one-bedroom and two bedroom units were managed by one of our local Project Managers, Cameron Olsen.
The second block is about to commence its refurbishment.


We are proud to be working with the Ministry of Education and the Clutha Valley Primary School community delivering their new school in Clydevale. On Wednesday 14th September, we celebrated the official sod-turning ceremony. The function began with a Karakia, the national anthem, respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II and acknowledgement of local culture and history. Construction will begin in the coming weeks.

On Friday 12 th August, our Dunedin team equipped with shovels, hammers, and power tools headed to a Kainga Ora residential site to built garden plots and compost bins. We left the built garden beds full of soil for the residents to plant out in vegetables and herbs when the weather gets a bit warmer.

We celebrated the successful completion of the 5YA projects at Ravensbourne School today with a fish/hotdog and chips lunch for the students. The projects consisted of a re-roof, new learning support coordinator office, upgraded toilets, new sewage system, new clearlite roof for the pool and new accessibility rails for the handrails. Lloyd, our project manager, really enjoyed working with the school.

Work is ongoing at St Pauls Cathedral in Dunedin, with the insurance reinstatement project following the fire in the Apse in August 2020. It is expected that these works will be completed September 2022. Other projects including redevelopment of the ground floor are currently in the early planning stages.
The installation of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) marks a significant milestone at the recently named Otago Polytechnic Trades Training Centre, He Toki Kai Te Rika. The building is being built to keep up with the expected growth in the number of students pursuing building and construction qualifications, as well as to give the facility more capacity to deliver apprenticeship programmes.
