    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
