The best way to describe Maiden
Group's operational capacity is as a
property development firm because,
although established to scope red
zoned homes after the earthquake,
Maiden Group is now a repair and
renovation specialist, covering
everything from the foundations up.
n the aftermath of the September 2010 and
IFebruary 2011 earthquakes, Maiden Group deployed five damage assessment teams to carry out cost estimation reporting for
residential and light commercial properties on
behalf of a range of insurance companies.
Before long the company responded to the
demand for fast, competent and professional
repair firms to aid in the city's rebuild and
Maiden Group increased the staffing capacity
to meet this need. Now there's not a lot this
local repair and renovation specialist can't do.
We've invested time and resources into
being able to offer a full solution for repair and
renovation work, Maiden Group contracts
manager Hugh Chapman says.
We're committed to getting you back to your
house with minimum stress and hassle by
utilising a friendly team with the skills and
experience to produce a superior quality finish.
The passion and innovation behind the firm
has driven Maiden Group to seek improved
techniques for the residential rebuild. One such
area is promoting and implementing the
methodology for repairing and laying
foundations on TC3 land.
Consequently, Base Level Foundations has
been established as another string to the
Maiden Group bow. Headed by former Arrow
International/SRES, Matt Tipa is Base Level's
business development and innovation
Repair solutions from the ground up
manager, charged with growing the specialist
TC3 foundation business and methodology so it
will be available to Maiden Group and other
building companies in the future.
We've taken all our learnings, experience
and intelligence from the past four years about
how to work on TC3 land and fine-tuned this
into a company with new specialist skills sets
and expertise for foundation construction,
Maiden Group director Stu Gordon explains.
We have put the time and effort into
developing the most effective foundation
solutions and the new direction now enables us
to offer our specialist services to everything
from the ground up.
It is vital that the methodology used is
specific to each site repair. The assessment of
the land under a foundation by geotechnical
engineers is critical to determine the
methodology to be used. An understanding of
exactly what occurs when foundations are lifted
mechanically so that the void underneath can
be filled with the right substrate is also of
fundamental importance to achieve the
optimum outcome.
Base Level not only has the expertise to
repair or build new foundations for TC3 land,
the company also offers innovation solutions for
all Christchurch land types.

Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry
Brownlee, and Christchurch Central MP Nicky
Wagner, discussing rebuild progress in the city
centre, in this issues Influencers columns on
pages 4-5.
Front cover story to come
Mother Nature in all her audacity, tore from us the physical shape of a city we had
been so carefully cultivating since the Canterbury Association settled the
surrounding province and gave the city its name in 1848.
While we may have lost brief control over the changing shape of our central
business district, we have again taken charge and the resulting form is an award
winning one.
A consortium of architects and designers from multidisciplinary architecture firm,
Warren and Mahoney, landscape architects Boffa Miskell, architects Woods
Bagot, RCP and Sheppard and Rout Architects were given 100 days to come up
with a plan to rebuild Christchurchs severely damaged central city after the
devastating earthquakes of 2010/2011.
The subsequent Christchurch rebuild blueprint has just been announced as the
winning entry of the World Architecture News (WAN) Urban Design Award, part of
the world's largest architectural awards programme, after judges were blown
away by the scale of the proposed framework for central Christchurch.
The citys transitional projects have also been recognised on the global stage.
Christchurch: Our Ever Evolving City the Christchurch City Councils creative
and innovative approach to the rebuild has won the prestigious Guangzhou
International Award for Urban Innovation.
Plans for another key central city creation are also ramping up, with international
interest in the $500 million Convention Centre venue three years out.
Yes the rebuild is ramping up in a very big way. Every issue were featuring new,
but most importantly, innovative developments throughout the city and now, we
have the accolades to prove it.

Peter Townsend Canterbury Employers
Chamber of Commerce
Chief Executive
Antony Gough Central city
developer
Id like to start by wishing readers a very happy new
year! I hope you managed to enjoy some time off over
the festive season with family and friends.
Last year ended with the Council having to make some
tough decisions in regard to its financial strategy. We had to
consider all the options available to us to address the
Councils funding shortfall of approximately $1.2 billion,
which is an increase on the $900 million estimated in the
Cameron Partners report released in August 2014.
The scale of this shortfall is too big a burden for our
residents to shoulder therefore we had to consider more far-
reaching options. We are proposing in our financial strategy
to raise $550 million from Christchurch City Holdings Ltd
(CCHL) and Council-owned trading organisations.
Our Council is required to provide a proposed financial
strategy for the Office of the Auditor General to show we can
meet our financial commitments for the next 10 years (the
period covered by the Councils 2015-2025 Long Term Plan).
However I want to reassure our residents that no decisions
will be made on the Long Term Plan without consulting with
the community. This will include public hearings which will
being in March this year. This consultation document will
outline what we as a Council intend to do and how we
propose to pay for it.
Our bottom line position is that we will not lose control of
our core infrastructure assets, the two ports and Orion.
However we will look for ways to maximise their strategic
value and performance by offering shareholdings to
appropriate partners. This may involve selling assets which
we do not regard as strategic.
Its important to remember that this citys most valuable
assets are actually our water supply, our rivers, our
underground infrastructure and our roads. This is what we
must invest in for future generations.
We also made another important decision at the end of
last year by agreeing in principle to set up a Development
Authority which could speed up the rebuild and help attract
private sector funding for major projects.
This authority could act as a one-stop-shop for investors
and developers, linking them with potential projects and
assisting them through the consenting process. I am really
excited by the possibilities an agency like this offers
Christchurch, as development authorities like this have
worked successfully overseas.
We have asked Chief Executive Dr Karleen Edwards to
provide advice by the end of the month on a structure for the
authority.
As the financial issues facing the Christchurch City
Council (CCC) become clearer with a projected
deficit of at least $800 million by 2016 the issue of
asset sales is being raised as a legitimate avenue to
address this shortfall. The communitys appetite for
markedly increased rates and the inability of the CCC to
raise more debt makes the realisation of capital from
CCC assets a more compelling proposition.
The resolution of the CCC financial shortfall is the
short game that will be achieved by sensible and
pragmatic decision making processes with community
buy-in. The long game however is much more
interesting and is how the CCC can achieve its financial
objectives and position CCC owned assets and
infrastructure in a way that assists this city to become
internationally relevant.
The Christchurch community should be justifiably
concerned about the relationship between Auckland
Airport and Queenstown Airport and the synergistic
benefits that arise in linking those airports closely
together through Aucklands shareholding in
Queenstown. The same can be said about the
relationship between the Port of Tauranga and the Port of
Timaru in the terms of Taurangas close association with
Timaru and the ability to feed into the Port of Tauranga
from the Port of Timaru.
Our Mayor has raised the issue of the possibility of
inviting a strategic partner into buying a stake of
Christchurch Airport or Lyttleton Port in the context of
benefiting the region as a whole. She highlighted the
potential benefits of introducing strategic partners into
both Christchurch Airport and the Lyttelton Port through
an equity involvement. This all points to the long game
being about the strategic positioning of critical assets e.g.
the effective strategic repositioning of CCC owned assets
for the long term benefit of Christchurch and Canterbury.
In the opinion of the Canterbury Employers Chamber
of Commerce we think this is an option well worth
exploring. Having recently travelled to both Australia and
the United Kingdom it was interesting to observe that the
recycling of assets and recycling of capital is common
place with private sector involvement in Government
owned entities and improving efficiencies and providing
strong, strategic linkages to the benefit of the community
where the asset is based. Real food for thought.
With 2015 now upon us this will be the busiest
year yet since the earthquakes. It seems so
long ago that we were dealing with the
endless aftershocks. These are all now well in the past
and we are seeing a real positive vibe in the inner city
with so much rebuilding on the go.
This year we will see most of the existing buildings
along Cambridge Terrace and Durham Street get
finished. Other buildings behind the fenced off sites are
appearing along Cashel Street between Cambridge and
Montreal Street with the new Price Waterhouse building
rising up and Warren and Mahoneys new offices rapidly
showing their form on Montreal Street.
The pace is gathering in the retail precinct with Nick
Hunts Cashel Square along Hereford Street now at its
full height and work has begun on the foundations for
the Cashel Street part facing Ballanytynes. My project
The Terrace, actually never stopped and the full form of
three of the four buildings facing Oxford Terrace are
now fully up. This year will see the busiest time on this
project as Stage 1 with the buildings in frame form
being finished and occupied by show week 2015. The
Westpac building on the corner of Cashel and Oxford
Terrace will start in the second quarter of 2015 as well
as the car park building on Hereford Street.
Tim Glassons Triangle Centre is in excavation mode
as he builds hid underground car park and foundations.
Carter Group has been flat out clearing the older
buildings behind the crossing so that their new build
can begin in 2015.
The Innovation Precinct is gaining real traction with
the Vodafone $50 million building, Kathmandus $20
million building and the $50 million Pebbles Group
building retaining the McKenzie and Willis frontage.
The Crown Plaza hotel will be going into the old
Forsyth Barr building on Victoria Square to be the
largest hotel in Christchurch with over 200 rooms.
A must see for any Cantabrian is the rebuilt Isaac
Theatre Royal. They have saved the beautifully painted
dome and marble staircase and built a new replica
building around these while retaining the brick faade.
The acoustics are excellent and its new seats make for
a real theatre experience.
Time to come to town and view the changes.

Wth
e are on a roll towards the 4 anniversary of the
February 2011 quake which will be for us all, a
time for reflection and remembrance. It is also an
opportunity to reflect on how far how recovery has come
and where we still have to go! But for me, its also a time to
raise concerns about what is happening now, particularly if
it is going to have longer term implications. So, without
wanting to take anything away from the fantastic progress
in some parts of our city, whether it be the re-opening of
the Isaac Theatre Royal or the re-opening of the Mt
Pleasant School pool, there are a few concerns that I want
to put on the table.
The first is the quality of design of our new buildings. I,
like all Cantabrians, want to have absolute confidence that
we will never again see a repeat of the CTV and PGG
collapsed buildings. But an increasing number of
engineers are raising concerns with me that we cannot
have this confidence. For many engineers, their concerns
are grounded in the fact that the integration of the
Department of Building and Housing into the Ministry of
Building, Innovation and Employment, has brought a loss
of technical expertise and a shift onto a focus on the
regulatory framework. The Royal Commission into the
collapse of the buildings in February raised a number of
very important issues, not just for Canterbury but for the
rest of the country. Has their report received the required
response? We need to all have confidence that the answer
to this question is yes!
The second issue is the quality of repairs and cash
payouts. I fear that a number of homes that are being sold
in an as is-where is state, and often without insurance,
are being left as a future potential leaky home situation
with huge liabilities to be faced in years to come. Not
enough information about repairs that have been done is
provided to a potential home purchaser. And I am
frustrated that so many people are still arguing about the
quality of their repairs.
And the final issue is the recent cost-shifting from
Central government to local government (ie us as
ratepayers!) with the lower quality of horizontal
infrastructure repair. For central government to suddenly
change the playing field and pass the repair bill onto
ratepayers, especially given the financial situation facing
us as a city, seems unfair. There has always been an
assumed shared responsibility for this work until recently.
What changed?
As 2015 begins, Ive had time to reflect on the
strong progress of the Christchurch recovery in
2014, and to look ahead to an exciting new year
in store for the city.
We have already seen a large amount of new
development replacing what was lost in the
earthquakes, and one of the first big projects
completed is the Cricket Oval in Hagley Park.
This great new facility will play host to the opening
match in the ICC Cricket World Cup on 14 February
between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, which will be a
huge occasion for Christchurch.
It will show the world how far the city has come since
the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Later this year
Christchurch will have another big opportunity in the
international sporting spotlight, when the FIFA Under-20
World Cup is held in New Zealand. Nine matches will
be hosted in Christchurch in June.
In addition to the Cricket Oval, and construction well
advanced on the citys new Avon River Precinct, Bus
Interchange and Justice and Emergency Services
Precinct, this year will see building begin on other
important anchor projects in central Christchurch.
Construction or early site work is due to start on the
Central Library, Performing Arts Precinct, the
Convention Centre Precinct and the Metro Sports
Facility. Public consultation will also begin on the
Canterbury Earthquake Memorial.
These big projects are helping to stimulate commercial
development worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The EQC-managed Canterbury Home Repair
Programme is now almost through its full repair
programme, and 86 per cent of EQCs building claims
have been resolved.
There is still work to be done to get everyone back into
rebuilt or repaired homes, but Canterburys strong
economy and low unemployment means the region is
in very good shape to provide opportunities for all in the
year ahead.
In early December, the Christchurch City Council signed
off on its financial strategy with proposals to sell off a
significant share of the Council and citys assets to fill
the shortfall in the Councils long term budget. This
includes selling up to 34 percent of Lyttelton Port
Company, nine percent of Christchurch International
Airport and 14.3 percent of Orion.
Christchurch residents need to get involved and have
their say when the Council calls for public comment early
in 2015 before finalising the long term plan.
Selling down the city's strategic assets to fill the
financial hole and fund projects, such as a super-sized
convention centre, does not have the long-term interests
of the city at heart. This Government has made a habit of
selling our assets without permission or desire from the
public.
On the Councils end, the former City Council, under
Mayor Parker and CEO Tony Maryatt, was unwise in
agreeing to some big ticket anchor projects without
knowing whether the community wanted them or whether
they were affordable.
The National Government needs to renegotiate the cost
sharing agreement with the Council and needs to be more
flexible. This agreement has foisted a series of
unaffordable projects on city residents which we cant
afford as ratepayers or taxpayers. Several of them are a
boon for design and construction companies but not for
residents.
There are several things that can be done to save tens
of millions of dollars, including not proceeding with the
extravagant childrens playground on the former
Centennial Pool site, significantly scaling back the lavish
prettification and hardening of the banks of the Avon-
Otakaro River, not supersizing the convention centre and
not redesigning Victoria Square. Savings here would
enable the Government to pick up more of the cost of
repairing the citys horizontal infrastructure roads, and
sewage and storm water pipes.
Christchurch needs the necessities before the niceties.
Thats how we will rebuild.

18 January 2015 Canterbury Rebuild

On average, 75 New Zealanders die every year at work and 600-900 die from
work related diseases. But according to Reid Safety Consultings Zeb Reid,
the one in ten who are injured on the job each year are just as significant.
Its easy to whip out the death statistics
as scare tactics, Zeb says.
But in reality, its the young fella who
loses a hand and can no longer work on
his car in the weekends, the young family
who loses their sole income and breaks
up from the stress, even the guy
who only loses a couple of
fingers but who can no
longer play the guitar
these are also victims of
a lax workplace safety
environment.
In 2013, the
government
announced theWorking
Safer reform package,
aimed at bringing down
New Zealands workplace
injury and death toll by 25
percent by 2020.
Perhaps the most important aspect is
the new Health and Safety Reform Bill,
which will make everyone responsible for
the health and safety of all each worker in
a workplace. Its easy to say workplace
safety isnt personal, its business. But
when youre at risk of not getting home
safe and sound to your family, that is
personal, Zeb says.
The implementation of the new regime
expected to come into effect in April will
see more onus placed on managers and
company directors to proactively manage
workplace health and safety. Together with
stronger penalties and wider enforcement
tools for non-compliance, it is hoped the
regime will see improvement to New
Zealands poor health and safety record.
While New Zealands workplace safety
reforms mark the biggest overhaul of the
local system in 20 years, it mirrors similar
reforms in Queensland in 2011. The
Queensland campaign was focused on
getting people home safe at the end of the
day, Zeb explains.
Enshrined in the new law is the
requirement for bosses to provide the
resources and support for a safe working
environment, but we need to start taking
personal responsibility.
When you carry out a root cause
analysis on an incident, the resulting issue
traditionally comes down to one of three
factors, Zeb says individual failure,
system failure or communication failure.
-
This was the introductory
part 1 of a 12 part Health &
Safety campaign where we
will be looking into the
new health and safety
reforms, what they mean
for you and how you can
help ensure the safety of
yourself and those around
you. Next issue we look
effective safety strategies
and how to implement
them.

Expert Advice On:
Business Interrupon/
Material Damage Insurance Claims
Claims Selement
Negoang for the best
outcome on your behalf
Reporting near misses is just as
important to remediating unsafe working
practices as reporting accidents. Its only
by identifying hazards and reporting near
misses that you can learn from them and
take control.
A near miss means you got
lucky, dont blow your free
pass by not learning from
it.
For many companies,
health and safety is
treated as an add-on
accessory, Zeb says.
Yet to be effective,
health and safety
strategies simply must be
embedded into every level
of the company. There needs
to be best practice standards the
company is working towards, with key
performance indicators (KPIs) set against
those standards to measure achievement.
According to the United States
Department of Labour, an effective safety
and health programme can save $4-$6 for
every $1 invested, its the right thing to do
and doing it right pays off in lower costs,
increased productivity and higher
employee morale.
In fact, much like companies who
support sustainable business practices
have enjoyed an increase in business,
contractors with a strong safety culture
are becoming preferred suppliers
because they are seen to be less or
lower risk.
What we need to realise is the
machinery were having
accidents on is not whats
to blame, Zeb says.
Quad bikes arent
dangerous, skillsaws
arent deadly
weapons until they
are used in an
unsafe manor. You
have a duty of care
to yourself and to
your mates. Just like
you dont let a mate drink
and drive, dont let a mate get
up there and do something stupid with
machinery.
The new laws are a lot like a game of
rugby, he says. On the field, each player
is just one part of a team and each of
those players has a role to play in
supporting the team. So if one player out
there is making too many head high
tackles, or arguing with the ref, hes
putting the teams performance at risk
and as a result, he will be stood down for
a period of time.
From April, building companies will be
required to strictly comply with the new
provisions or risk substantial sanctions
under the Workplace Safety guidelines.
We have been lobbying for these
changes for some time and believe these
changes are a positive step towards
focussing on the real safety issues
confronting our industry, Zeb says.
Safety is not about filling out bits of
paper or keeping the boss happy. Its
about ensuring you go home safe every
day.

The development of Christchurchs new
$500 million Convention Precinct is
moving forward, with international
interest in the venue three years out,
with construction of the precinct due to
get underway later this year.
Four construction teams, including
companies based in New Zealand and
overseas, have been short-listed for
Early Contractor Involvement services for
Christchurchs new Convention Centre
Precinct.
The teams have been selected from those
that responded to the recent call for
Expressions of Interest in relation to the
Convention Centre component of the
Precinct. The selection process is being
handled by the preferred development
consortium for the Precinct, Plenary
Conventions NZ.
The next step will be a Request for Proposal
to those on the short-list, from which one
construction team will be selected to work
with Plenary Conventions NZ on the design
and build plans for the Convention Centre.
There has been good interest from the
market in New Zealand and overseas in this
opportunity, says Christchurch Central
Development Unit Director Warwick Isaacs.
Those short-listed are of a high calibre, and
we can be sure that Plenary Conventions NZ
will add quality construction expertise to the
design and build team for the Convention
Centre.
Featuring a Convention Centre able to
cater for up to 2000 people and multiple
events at any one time, the wider
Convention Centre Precinct will have space
which can accommodate hotels, and retail,
commercial and residential development.
Leading international convention centre
and hotel operator Accor is the referred
operator of the Convention Centre. Accor
will also work with the Crown and Plenary
Conventions NZ into the master planning
and development phase. Christchurch &
Canterbury Convention Bureau manager
Caroline Blanchfield says the
announcement means the Bureau can now
actively pursue large international
conferences for Christchurch.
We already have significant interest in
events wanting to book at least three
years out. Now we have the certainty to go
out and sell Christchurch on this scale.
Its going to be versatile and connected
to a vibrant city centre with major hotel
development attached to it. Its exactly what
we are after and gives us the go-ahead to
ramp up our marketing of the city.
Government support of the business
events sector and increased funding to
Tourism New Zealand has boosted
international promotion of this countrys
unique meeting, conference and incentive
travel offerings, Caroline says.
The city has recently won two international
conference bids. The 20th Pacific Association
of Quantity Surveyors (PAQS) Congress will
bring 400 delegates to Christchurch in May
2016, and the city will host 80 international
delegates to the ECCA (Environmental
Criminology and Crime Analysis) Symposium
in 2015.
Tourism New Zealands International
Business Events manager Bjoern Spreitzer
says the new Convention Centre will attract
more high-value visitors to the South Island in
the off-peak season, and boost the countrys
reputation abroad.
With an outstanding venue in a lively
central city precinct, Christchurch is helping
put New Zealand on the map as a world-class
business events destination, Bjoern says.

The University of Canterburys Student Volunteer Army (SVA) was involved in five major
response operations following the earthquakes but the armys foundation co-founder
Jason Pemberton says the organisations most important learnings were those
surrounding dysfunctional everyday systems.
The former SVA leader did a key talk to a landmark emergency management study visit at the
University of Canterbury recently to Charles Sturt University students from Australia.
Jason says it was clear from the armys response in 2011 that not only from their experiences
but a wealth of past research and situations that there are a number of larger everyday issues
that foster many of the problems that disaster response deals with.
He visited Japan after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami and was also rushed to New
York after Hurricane Sandy. His work continues to feed into the United Nations
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. He will take part in the Third World
Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, early this year.
We were taken to New York in an advisory capacity so there was more
space to reflect and breathe, which meant that the longer term impact has
been a lot more positive than some other work we'd done previously,
Jason explains.
We have an increasingly connected and aware global society that is
tending more towards continuity of resources and human wellbeing than
financial targets. This will, I sense, in time, start to shift the way that we
structure our lives, operate our businesses, and make decisions for our
communities.
The environments in which emergency management operate are
changing faster than emergency management is, so there is an opportunity
for growth here.
Disasters don't exist in isolation of everyday life yet Jason says we often deal with
them as isolated situations. We can't stop natural forces but we can design around them to
mitigate negative impacts. All that's needed is a broader purpose or vision. This is where the
world is heading.
While emergency management is facing immense and cross-cutting issues, so is education,
health and nutrition, energy systems, sanitation and the list goes on. These are all cross-cutting
issues that cannot afford to be considered in isolation of one another if any of us are to achieve
the results that are needed locally and globally.
Its not just a question of money, it's also challenge of personal capacity or development, he
adds. People who are in control of their own lives are generally very resilient in times of crisis,
whether rich or poor. It appears to me however that the most influential forces on peoples lives
are not in the business of empowering people, just yet. This isn't to say it's anyone's fault, but it
might be an interesting situation for individuals to explore in their own lives.

As Christchurch rapidly replaces
lost housing stock to meet
demand, theres a push for
affordable residential housing, but
affordable housing can come at a
price performance. So when Glenn
Murdoch wanted to build New
Zealand the most energy
efficient homes he could,
he sought the global
performance
benchmark. That
benchmark was the
Passive House
Standard.
Now his local firm Vicus
Design Group is
producing a world class,
prefabricated housing
system, which is saving time,
money and energy, while
performing to some of the highest global
efficiency standards. We dont
compromise on aesthetic appeal to
achieve performance and with the
Passive House Standard, we dont have
to, Glenn says.
Were not about just building houses,
were about building healthy societies.
Constructed in a factory environment
ensuring high quality, low waste and
excellent performance, Vicus Design
Groups prefabricated homes are not only

Leading global housing model
plays key local role
affordable, energy
efficient, warm and healthy,
they are quick to construct.
A recent build on a steep
Scarborough site went from foundations
to a weathertight building shell in a week.
The buildings wall and roof panels are
constructed in our own factory then
transported to the clients building site for
erection, followed by the installation of
exterior cladding and internal fittings,
fixtures and services, Glenn says.
With this system we aim to deliver a
home on a flat site within 12 weeks from
consent issue to completion.
Relatively new to New Zealand, the
Passive House Standard has been
applied extensively across the world for
more than 20 years, setting strict criteria
for performance in key areas of energy-
efficiency.
By minimising heat loss and maximising
passive heat gains using good quality
thermal insulation, triple-glazing, airtight
materials that prevent heat leaking out
and good quality mechanical heat
recovery ventilation, a Vicus home will only
use about five to ten percent of the energy
required to heat a traditional Kiwi home.
What this means is a standard 180
square metre house will cost around
$250 per year to heat, guaranteeing a
warm, dry, healthy home, Glenn says.
There is growing interesting in New
Zealand for these concepts that not only
make a lot of sense, but provide
considerable comfort and cost saving
benefits.
A finalist in the Mega Efficiency and
Innovation category of the Sustainable
Business Network Awards, Vicus Design
Group will be moving into the North
Island market later in the year and is
working on a new range of affordable
housing to be released soon.
This range will be inexpensive to build,
but most importantly, cost effective to
run.

Although Thorn Engineering was
established in May of last year, the
local firm is punching well above its
commercial weight. With a reputation that
proceeds him, director Andrew Thorn has
made an impressive mark on the local
engineering industry, right from the early
days of his career, founding a reputation
which has enabled the
companys involvement
with some of the citys
largest multimillion dollar
projects.
The Thorn Group of
companies burst onto
the engineering scene
with its involvement in
property developer
Stephen Collins
development, the former
Santorini Greek
Restaurant, at 151
Cambridge Terrace in the city. The
company is now working on four major
anchor projects in the city and carrying
out residential work throughout
Christchurch.
On a local level, Thorn Engineerings
highly experienced team can assist with
commercial construction, architectural
construction, steel construction,
pipeworks, earthquake strengthening,
drafting and site welding/erection with the
gear to assist in the heavy transport area.
The group of companies includes a
strong commercial team of nine carrying
out foundation works and fitouts and an
engineering team of seven providing the
structural and architectural finishing,
making Thorn Group a one stop shop,
well positioned to take on any commercial
development.
All works are carried out with a strong
focus on quality, transparent
workmanship, with robust health and
safety systems embedded within the
company. But it is
Thorn Engineerings
reputation of trust
developed amongst the
local construction
community by
consistently delivering
the scope of works on
time no matter how big
or small the project is
deemed to.
Our diverse
capabilities from small
residential jobs through
to major commercial construction projects
gives us a real point of difference and
enables our involvement in iconic local
projects such as Cambridge Terrace,
through to smaller, but extremely fulfilling
roles such as earthquake strengthening,
Andrew Thorn explains.
We are getting real momentum into the
Christchurch residential rebuild and were
proud to be associated with some of the
citys key developments moving forward.
