HOBSON GARDEN APARTMENTS - AUCKLAND
In July 2014 we completed the recladding of Hobson Garden Apartments, a 2 tower apartment development that had ongoing weather tightness performance issues. Originally clad in monolithic ACP system, KFI worked from the top down removing the cladding and installing a RAB system and fitting solid aluminium panels in an open joint drained and ventilated rainscreen configuration. New windows and doors were also supplied and installed to the apartments.
​
During this project KFI worked on site whilst the building residents vacated and then reoccupied the apartments according to the program requirements which required a particular customer-centric project management style and project staff selection process. We didn’t receive any dinner invitations but did leave the site with a few new friends.
