Paul Belcher; Managing Director of CM – New Zealand Limited, was appointed as Engineer to the Contract NZS:3910 for this construction project, which was a 5 storey, 27 unit building with an underground carpark located in Auckland. This required managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities as well facing the barriers that came with Covid-19, such as delays and cost fluctuations.

This project also came with a number of complex items, including:

• An underground carpark with a car stacker
• Overhead wires that needed to be undergrounded with a transformer upgrade.
• Public S/S drainage running under the site that had to be operational at all times and diverted.
• Public asbestos water mains that were be worked around in close vicinity to other services.
• Furthermore, these all needed to be carefully planned with traffic management to minimise disruption and cost.
