Summit Scaffolding Hamilton - Robert Aughey & Gary Pearson<br />
Summit Scaffolding engaged Foster<br />
Construction to design and build the<br />
new <strong>Waikato</strong> Head Quarters in Rukuhia,<br />
Hamilton. The project consisted of an<br />
architecturally designed 370m 2 two storey<br />
office and 800m 2 warehouse which is<br />
finished off with a concrete paved yard with<br />
plenty of storage and parking.<br />
Early on during construction the empty<br />
upstairs workspace was upgraded to an<br />
office area. These works were incorporated<br />
into the project and finished within the<br />
original programme period.<br />
As a company committed to sustainability, it<br />
was an easy decision for Summit Scaffolding<br />
to incorporate a waste treatment plant and<br />
grey water recovery system into their new<br />
building.<br />
Summit Scaffolding were impressed with<br />
Fosters attention to detail from the onset.<br />
During the planning Fosters were innovative,<br />
helpful, and transparent throughout. Once<br />
construction started the site team carried on<br />
in the same vein.<br />
Two weekly progress and health and safety<br />
meetings were held on site and all relevant<br />
information was passed on clearly.<br />
Variations were discussed and mutually<br />
agreed, and this did not affect the<br />
programme or completion date. The finished<br />
building was completed and handed over<br />
ahead of schedule with a high standard of<br />
build and finish quality.<br />
Branch Manager Gary Pearson (pictured)<br />

outstanding facility while setting up Summit<br />
Scaffolding’s <strong>Waikato</strong> operation.<br />
Summit Scaffolding would not hesitate to<br />
recommend Foster Construction to anyone<br />
requiring a first-class construction company<br />
to assist them with the planning and delivery<br />
of their project.<br />
“Would we use Fosters again? Definitely!”,<br />
confirmed Summit Scaffolding Director John<br />
Scott.<br />
