$45 Million Residential Development
This project included the construction of 106 new dwellings covering 9,333m2 of land.
When the development suffered setbacks from external architects and consultants affecting the timeline, Morden’s expertise was called upon. The main contractor required assistance to help manage the delays, overcome a mountain of variations and to procure an extension of time claim.
This nationwide client’s primary facility underwent a major rebuild and refurbishment.
Aware of Dave Morris’ extensive construction advisory background, their Programme Delivery Manager got in touch with us to help manage this vast project. With $60 million worth of projects under construction, differing in size from $10,000 to $21 million, this total project was costed at $100 million over a five-year period.
iRex
This is one of the largest construction projects to be undertaken in New Zealand for probably the next 50 years. It is also a most unique project.
iRex (the Inter-island Resilience Connection Project) is a massive project of works which will include two new custom-designed ferries, along with two new terminals – one at Kaiwharawhara in Wellington and the other at Waitohi Picton.
This extensive project of works including the cost of the new ferries (valued at $551m) is estimated at a total cost of $1.45 billion. A project of this size means there are a number of considerations to be managed, including - in the middle of the project - little blue penguins.
Rydges Hotel, Wellington
Beginning in May 2022, Wellington’s Rydges Hotel underwent a $20 million seismic upgrade and fitout, with Russell Property Group as Design/Project Managers and Dominion Constructors Ltd as Main Contractors.
The entire seismic upgrade and fit out was a fixed contract covering 19 levels including common areas from levels 1-3 and 280 residential rooms, along with exterior design work. Regular changes to a large proportion of main structural elements increased pressure for the team to deliver the project on schedule. We were glad to come on board to help this determined team get this project of works over the line and on time.
