Brosnan are currently constructing this highly complex and detailed project in a remote McKenzie Country valley. We were awarded this project after a thorough registration and tendering process that focused on quality, programme, methodology, cost and trust. Our success was attributed to the in-depth planning processes, supply chain coverage, innovative construction sequencing and construction methodology.
Designed by Wellington based Architects, Architecture Workshop Ltd, the best visual aspects have been maximised with very innovative and unusual aesthetic, structural and engineering ideas. The Lodge is designed to be environmentally friendly whilst affording maximum luxury and ambience.
We are currently on budget and programme, even while working in a remote, weather effected area of New Zealand.

Repairing any commercial building damaged by an earthquake brings with it a series of challenges; but when that building is also a high-tech support centre for Canterbury and the South Island, which needs to remain working 24/7 throughout the construction phase and that’s a whole different level of difficulty.
Starting with a large, empty warehouse, the need to convert it to a state-of-the-art hospitality training facility and a very tight timeline placed the Brosnan team under significant pressure to deliver. The fact the finished product also went on to win an Award is just one indication of the successful outcome of the project.
The project involved the conversion, upgrade and refurbishment of an existing c.1920 six storey building into 30 quality apartments. However, the age and condition of the existing structure meant the building required structural improvements and the client’s brief was to bring the building up to 100% of the new building code, involving new foundations, strengthening of existing walls and reinforcing remediation.
What can sometimes seem to be a straightforward residential build can prove to be more complex once adverse weather, difficult site access and a design involving a number of detailing challenges are taken into account.
