1500 blocks down and counting!

The base is coming together nicely at Tara Iti, Mangawhai, with the team pushing ahead and getting everything ready for the slab pour.

East Tamaki job for Fisher & Paykel coming together nicely.

5m high and running as long as the motorway — 38,000 x 200 series Firth blocks installed by the RGC crew.

Handled it all from block work through to pumping and placing the floor slabs.

A great rainy day job for the boys!
