Brosnan has recently completed a contract to deliver the structural element of 2 and 3 storey buildings for 65 residential care apartments, linked to walkways and structural landscaping. The construction involved slab on grade with set downs and services. It had AFS logic walling for the structural internal and exterior walls both of which were also complemented by timber wall framing and trusses. Subsequent floor were constructed by Rib ‘n’ Infill concrete slab methods.
Through a collaborative relationship with Summerset, developed over previous projects run for them in Auckland and Canterbury, Brosnan successfully managed this structures package, delivering an excellent outcome for the client.

The upgrade of a working Fire Station is inherently fraught with challenges for the construction team. Brosnan Construction worked closely with the NZ Fire Service to ensure the Station was able to operate at full capacity, whilst achieving a great construction outcome...
Delays sometimes seem to be the byword of construction, but when they are caused by building consent issues, they can put great pressure on the construction team when the finish date is fixed and immovable. Such was the case with this important project in Papakura...
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.
Brosnan engaged with Auckland Zoo and Regional Facilities Auckland to construct a new off exhibit holding facility designed for small mammals. The facility has 5 holding areas all with access from a main services corridor with double doors, into a covered and enclosed holding pen and a cage area with shallow pond at the opposite end. Each holding pen has a bunded upstand and separate drainage to prevent any cross contamination.
