‘Loyal subcontractors and lateral thinking...’

Client
Kawaroa Consultancy Ltd

Contract period
5 months

Date completed
April 2004

Approximate cost
$800,000

Scope of work
To build two commercial tenancies using a mixture of precast concrete walls and timber framing.

Highlights
Overcoming a tight timeframe with the help of loyal subcontractors and lateral thinking.

Challenges, problems and solutions
Once we began excavating the foundations it became obvious that the ground was not very sound. This meant a redesign of the foundations, resulting in an increased amount of work and less time to do it. By convincing the subcontractors to work out of sequence (and sometimes out of their comfort zones) we were able to reduce the delay from three months to two weeks.
