Challenges:

Tight timeframe, confined site in CBD. Being on a historic site in the centre of town, there were both contamination issues to work around as well as being aware of uncovering anything of historic significance during the excavation stage.

Being built during the Covid 19 Pandemic, sourcing of materials so that we can keep to programme has been of major concern. To avoid these procurement issues, a lot of materials have been ordered in advance and stored.


Success:

Being part of providing an amazing community hub for the people of Marlborough to enjoy for generations to come.

Handing over to meet the timeframes of both the Iwi dawn blessing, and the public opening date.


Proportion of Resources:

Robinson Construction delivered the Overall Project Management, and the traditional Concrete, Carpentry and Finishing trades.

Using subcontractors for Structural Steel, Comflor, Precast Panels, Bulk Concrete Placing, Roofing, Electrical, Hydraulic, Mechanical Services, Joinery and Painting, Data and security.

How Key Personnel Supported Success:
