This project on Stancombe Road, Auckland involves the re-cladding and passive fire upgrades for a residential complex housing 47 units across three blocks.

PJM was commissioned to deliver Project Management and Engineer-to-Contract services on this large project. Our responsibilities included planning, cost control, team coordination, risk management, scope oversight, and communication with stakeholders including the body corporate, owners, occupants, consultants, and construction teams.

Council-driven alterations during the construction phase presented challenges for this project. PJM acted in a central role liaising with the council, seeking expertise from specialists, and valuing extra costs and time-related claims with the contractor.

Beyond addressing leaks and structural issues, the project team added value by:

• Staging block and basement work to minimise vacancy periods, thereby reducing costs and inconvenience for owners.

• Establishing safe access and safety protocols in a partially occupied complex, ensuring minimal resident disruption during construction.

• Upgrading structures to meet the latest NZ Building Code and Healthy Homes Standards, enhancing safety and comfort.

• Improving architectural aesthetics while prioritising robust water ingress protection.

Due for completion later this year

• Facilitating optional unit refurbishments and owner upgrades.
