This project was an Auckland City Apartment of which was four stories and we undertook the renovation of three bathrooms. We were engaged by Nicola Manning Design to undertake project management and construction.
The biggest challenge in this renovation was the en-suite at on the fourth floor. The design included a stone bath which was 170 kilos. We had to create more bracing in the floor to ensure the bath was safe when it was full and had a person in it.
From the beginning, we worked closely with everyone including our client to ensure they were aware of the work and materials needed to ensure this bath was safely installed. Due to early communication and our problem-solving around how to brace the floor, the project still ran smoothly and did not affect the timeline. Despite this being a minor variation for our clients, our early communication around costs and options created an easy stress-free decision making process for our clients, which is what we aim for in every single project.
The bath took four members of our team to carry the bath to the top story and was completed over an hour and a half due to the tight space in the apartment.
We are very proud to have completed this project through the Build Collective subtrades.
