Though Empire Street’s Retail and Office space was a new design and build for commercial use, it was situated in the Heritage Zone in Cambridge. This meant that Construction Advantage had to manage a Resource Consent process so that the design captured the feel of the area.

The timeframe was tight during a winter build, which Construction Advantage monitored daily to deliver on budget and on time. From feasibility to handover flexibility and communication was key to working with contractors and Council to bring forward any aspects of the project that we could. 

At 400 square metres per floor, the building has a concrete floor, precast concrete walls and a steel framework. The exterior was designed for minimal maintenance, purpose-built fit outs for each tenancy were made with a high quality interior with lift and flexibility to accommodate future changes in tenants relatively easily.

Sited in the Heritage Zone of Cambridge, Construction Advantage went through a resource consent process to ensure the feel of the building was right for the area and the design captured the heritage aspect by reflecting the details on buildings on the main street of Cambridge in the precast panels. Veranda details were aligned with old Cambridge as were the high windows.

About the
Professional

Construction Advantage, it’s not just our name, it’s our Business.

As a company, Construction Advantage is defined by what we do,
who we choose to work with and how we work the project.

We are a commercial project and construction management company that love to take on challenging and interesting projects and have fun while we do it. We work with good people who, like us, value integrity, innovation and collaboration. We are entrepreneurial and constantly strive to do better on each project, while still proud of everything we have worked on so far. Check out our projects here.

ESTABLISHED IN 2007

Construction Advantage was established in 2007. Since then we have offered core skills in programme and project management, cost consultancy and construction delivery. We aim to be the most respected project delivery company in the Waikato providing total project delivery for all commercial construction projects.

CLEAR COMMUNICATION

We trust that honesty and clear communication are how to do this, which is why they are fundamental to everything we do. We work with people who have integrity and value creativity and innovation as we do. Our contractors, subcontractors, tradespeople and expert consultants are all good people we collaborate with time and again because they are the best and they value creating successful projects that we can all be proud of. Our team is always ready to provide the perfect solution to property challenges.

This is something we have achieved for ourselves during the pandemic. The construction industry has remained essential throughout and by ensuring we have constant communication with clients and personnel we have been able to keep 100% of our staff employed and busy and helping the economy too.

DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT

We operate in the development and investment property fields ourselves, so we understand our client’s position better than most. This is why more than 90% of our business is repeat clients. We have a holistic approach and customise designs to suit our client’s needs, controlling the budget and the program taking all of the headaches of managing a project away..

We work from feasibility and options through to handing over the keys and beyond, to ensure the building performs as it was designed to, because we stand by our work, our design and our people.
