By Auckland Stonemasons
Auckland Stonemasons had the pleasure of working on the Auranga project located on Bremner Road in the Auckland suburb of Drury.
Auranga is a high density subdivision completed to the highest award winning standard. Dempsey Wood was the main contractor on the project.
Auckland Stonemasons completed the structural stonework to the bridge and bridge balustrade pillars.
The bridge was required to cross the natural creek and keep the natural creek and habitat intact rather than just piping it off.
The bridge is the main feature of the project and the client had a special stone seat constructed specifically so he could view and enjoy the bridge from a side angle.
Auckland Stonemasons Limited are New Zealand's leading commercial and residential builders of bridges, retaining walls, boundary walls, houses, pillars and fireplaces.
In 1927, Ivan Lavas arrived in New Zealand, from Korcula Island on the Dalmation Coast, and established Auckland Stonemasons Limited. With him he brought generations of stonemasonry experience and knowledge from the Adriatic. Now the third generation of the New Zealand family continues the tradition, upholding the best of the stonemason's tradition from early Europe.
From Auckland's Tamaki Drive sea walls built in the late 1920s, to Mount Cook's Hermitage, to many residential and commercial walls, stone pillars, fireplaces, monuments and buildings throughout New Zealand, the craftsmanship and quality of Auckland Stonemasons’ work is unsurpassed.
