Cassidy Construction were engaged to complete renewal works to two existing buildings, the Wharekai and Wharenui and for the construction of a new Wharepaku (toilet and changing room), for Hoani Waititi Marae.
Removal of the existing Super 6 asbestos roofing was the driving motivation behind the Wharekai and Wharenui renewal works. Both buildings were shrink wrapped, allowing for the safe removal and disposal of asbestos roofing as well as providing cover for the remedial roof framing and roofing work. A full repaint was undertaken on both buildings with new timber joinery and Nuwall cladding added to the Wharekai. The Wharenui had a heating system added. Discretely placed below a low-level perforated panel screen, it runs around the full interior perimeter of the room. It was proposed by the contractor, and collectively agreed, to use a hot water radiator system backed up by high level air supply to heat the large space, achieving an effective and cost-efficient solution.
The new Wharepaku was located where the existing building had been demolished, and the new building visually ties in with the existing buildings.
