Te Pākau Maru, New Brighton
It’s no secret the concept of Te Pākau Maru (the sheltering place) is under the media and political spotlight, the need for affordable living built to stand the test of time essential for future generations.
We’ve partnered with Home Construction on Te Pākau Maru, a development that comprises a mix of progressive home ownership sales and discount market rentals for working households. It’s not social housing. Instead, it aims to address the shortage of quality accommodation in New Brighton. Comprised of 63 two, three and four-bedroom homes, each property is built to 7 Homestar standard. The New Zealand Green Building Council has stated in their review of 7 and 8 Homestar houses that the annual savings for occupants is approximately $1,600 to $1,800, savings that stay in their bank account.
Onto the third stage of the development, we’re proudly contributing to a better standard of living living at Te Pākau Maru:
- Initial site clearance
- Removal of contaminated soil
- Foundations
- Earthworks
- Pathways
- Carparks
- Drainage
- Vehicle crossings
- Footpaths
End-to-End Commercial Solutions
We build to engineered design and we work with owners and developers to ensure our work is fit for purpose. At Te Pākau Maru, the work is engineered, and our General Manager, Mathew Austin, tells it as it is:
‘Like anything, it’s about having the correct base. Any surface will look good for a period of time, but if the base isn’t good, it’ll fail.’
Collaborative in the way we work with our clients, we sit down and thrash out the detail from the outset, our goal being to finish your project on time, within budget and to the highest standard. It’s why we win work with multiple government agencies, the people who dot the i’s, cross the t’s and follow the regulations!
Working with multiple schools throughout Canterbury, we also partner with Kainga Ora and Kiwi Rail.
