Client: Auckland Chinese Methodist Church
Project Value: $3 million
Location: Penrose, Auckland
AULFON were awarded the contract for a multi story extension of the existing church hall and facilities. The new extension of the existing church facility now provides multiple offices and studios including a library which will provide a multi-use facility for church-goers.
Materials were carefully selected throughout the project. The beautiful weatherboard cladding is highly durable and low maintenance whilst the front of the building features unique tectiva panels, which add to the building’s artistic design. AULFON were presented with an unusual project when a large earthquake-damaged stained-glass window was gifted from a church in the South Island. It was successfully transported to Auckland and carefully restored before being installed in the building.
Although a straightforward extension, we were faced with a number of challenges, one of which was a request made by the client, and that was to ensure church processions and gatherings were uninterrupted during the entire period of construction, the challenge here was that not only were we responsible for maintaining the safety of our staff and contractors, but we also had to plan and co-ordinate the safety of the end users of the church throughout the entire construction phase.
Every task was carefully planned and executed to ensure we maintained safe fire escape routes through a live construction site as well as maintaining weathertightness and working with live services all whilst the facility was being extended.

Aulfon has built a strong reputation in New Zealand for delivering exceptional medium and large-scale residential developments. Our work appeals to clients with a keen eye for design and high-quality construction, all delivered by a dedicated professional team with skills and experience to complete projects in a cost-effective and timely manner.
We believe early contractor involvement is an important foundation on which to build. At the construction phase, we then have the backing of our sister company, Livefirm Construction, one of the largest subcontractors in the commercial development sector. Our ability to draw on these additional resources gives our clients the confidence of uninterrupted access to materials, labour, and skills critical to delivering their projects on schedule, meeting clients' expectations.
In particular, we are positioned to deliver multiple-unit residential developments, such as terraced housing and walk-up apartments, with project values of $10–50 million. Our strong technical knowledge in handling inter-tenancy walls, fire protection, and seismic control means we are ideally suited to delivering these types of projects.
Our consistent performance has bolstered our reputation with our clients, consultants, suppliers, and commercial banks. In addition to delivering projects for our clients, the reputation we have built and maintained means we are frequently called in to rescue other struggling projects with fast turnaround time, utilising our expertise and resources to get them over the line.
We recognise that our focus is on efficient project delivery, achieved by establishing cost-effective frameworks and building quality into everything we do. However, of all our values, we reckon that safety is always our top priority, critical to the successful completion of every construction project. Our team’s commitment to safety on site ensures we all get home safely each day.
