Since our last newsletter we have implemented a Social Procurement and Sustainability Policy…

Teak construction Group’s Social Procurement and Sustainability Policy is our kaupapa (policy) for social procurement and sustainable practices. This policy sets out a number of practical guidelines to ensure Teak Construction Group’s actions always positively impact out team, build partners and members of the community.

Teak Construction Group is committed to using procurement for social good, as well as building sustainability into everything we do. We mange these practices throughout every build, including a number of ongoing social and sustainability initiatives such as:

Enabling young tradesmen to gain an education through apprenticeship programmes.

Practicing manaakitanga (compassion and generosity) by looking after our staff, paying all Teak Construction Group staff a living wage and ensuring all our subcontractors do the same.

Championing diversity by encouraging the use and development of Maori, Pacifica and other cultures through the use of language and cultural practices.

Liaising with Iwi and other cultural groups to grain understanding of Te Ao Maori and the wider social impact Teak Construction Group can have.

Teak construction Group’s social production and sustainability policy is designed to ensure we think beyond our bottom line to take care of our employees, clients, local communities and the environment.

Teak construction group sees sustainable practices and social procurement policies as a way to meet the needs of our people and local communities. it’s important to us that we provide opportunities that enrich our people, by ensuring that those same opportunities are available for future generations.

Teak Construction have been working with closely Ambedh Sharma and A&G Investment Trust to bring together his vision for the vacant lot at 10 John Glenn Avenue, Rosedale, Albany. The new building will consist of a warehousing facility and office spaces, spanning over 2000 sq m. Constructed from 9 meter precast concrete panels and specialised aluminium composite cladding panels. Teak are also set to construct space for 29 car parks in addition to the new building.

The Mairangi Bay ‘Waipapa’ Apartments project has had a productive few months in preparation for moving vertical. This has culminated in the erection of six 12m tall precast panels on the northern face of the Block A building with the help of the 30m tall tower crane (which now has an active neon sign for all of Mairangi Bay to see). Block B has had the majority of foundations and an in situ wall formed and we will look to pour slabs in the coming months.

The public drainage works in the nearby carpark have almost concluded and involved open trenching and thrusting of PE line and installation of three manholes. Power has also been brought to site with the thrusting of ducts from Montrose Terrace.

The staggered sequencing of the job, caused by a range of in ground issues out of our control, has led to pouring of slabs in some before beginning foundations in others – this certainly keeps the subcontractors on their toes. Moving forward, we will finish off foundations on the southern side of the site before pouring all slabs and continuing up into the structure.

It’s not unusual for developments on this scale to face delays, but this project has been particularly frustrating and difficult.

We’ve have very little activity on site for the past year waiting for Erson Developments to work through the design and consenting issues, so while their decision is to officially put Beachcroft on hold is disappointing it won’t have significant impact on our staff or subcontractors given we have already redeployed then on other projects.

All the subcontractors we’ve used on this project have been paid already, so thankfully that is not an issue. The major impact is really on the people who had already bought units. Erson’s decision will be a tough pill to swallow, and we feel for them.

Once the design and consenting issues are resolved we will be ready and willing to pick the tools back up with a new developer, so we will just wait and see how it all plays out. Having come this far we would like to see this project through to its end.

We have a few weeks now to clear out the site and some final details to work through Erson. That’s about all we can say at this point.

Teak undertook some light works for our client Riviera Group at Mitre 10 Whangaporoa.

Works included refurbishment of the store entrance and internal fitout works. Other trades involved were structural steel, painting, electrical and carpentry etc.

The project consisted of converting the old Whangaparpa “The Wearhouse” building in to a new “Mitre 10” retail outlet. The works for teak were new structural steel frame work to the vestibule cladded with roofing iron which involve carpentry work and waterproofing details to adjoin to the existing structure. A full repaint of the existing aluminium joinery inside and out, as well as repainting larger areas of the internal of the building to mitre 10 colour scheme. Demolition of some existing internal joinery and structural alterations to existing tilt slab for an new opening into the new Columbus Café area of the store and two new delivery entrances were formed with new roller doors and a concrete apron formed to housed the trade timber racks to the south elevation.

The Waipapa Apartments consist of a 4-storey dual structure constructed of a mixture of precast concrete, in-situ concrete and structural steel courtesy of Herbst Maxcey Metropolitan Architects & Structure Design. The ground floor of the dual structure houses two retail premises, a covered carpark for tenants and residences and a podium roof that acts as a courtyard for residences to enjoy the afternoon sun.

Above the ground floor houses 18 apartments over the top three floors. Each apartment is lined with the finest materials and architectural specifications money can buy in today’s market including; fire rated melamine kitchen joinery, acoustically isolated bedroom flooring and level 5 finishes throughout.

Following removal of the old asbestos clad gymnasium, Teak constructed a new events centre to take its place. The building is constructed from structural precast and steel frame, which includes fixed bleacher seating, moveable seating and a large stage with multiple configurations.

Supporting spaces and ancillary rooms were also included in the space. The event centre is the new heart of the school’s community, seating 1,350 people and provides space for teaching, events, functions, study and assemblies.
