From Kaitaia to Invercargill, our teams are busy doing what we do best: restoring confidence in construction! Time to roll call some of our projects:

Kaitaia Hospital - Stage 1, the Theatre Block, is finished, with work underway on the General Ward Block (Stage 2) and the General Practice, Outpatients and ED Block (Stage 3).

26 Hobson Street - Progress continues on the comprehensive roof replacement, with the building fully covered, providing a protected environment for the installation of the new long-run roofing system and associated remedial works to the facade.

Bunnings Warehouse Taupo – We have just hit an important milestone with the first stage of structural steelwork being installed for this new 9000m2 warehouse facility.

Dannevirke District Court – The building has donned the Brosnan-white shrink-wrap as we take off its old roof and give it a brand-new one.

Rolleston College – We are on programme, with the main structure to be completed in the next 2 weeks, and the final main concrete pour happening soon.

Aurora College – With our team fully mobilised on Blocks 1 and 2, cladding and internal work are well underway.

A significant step forward for our seismic upgrade and refurbishment of the Zone 23 project has been achieved: the successful completion of the restaurant building re-cladding and roofing works, followed by the removal of the temporary scaffold roof.

A big shout-out to the Zone 23 team, Cranes, and Scaffolding for their professionalism, expertise, and support in safely delivering this key milestone

We're proud to see the Lindis still being recognised as an exceptional destination years later.

Brosnan completed the Lindis Lodge build back in 2018. Nestled deep in the Ahuriri Valley, the building is characterised by intricate detail and high-end specifications. It's great to still see guests calling it "a detour well worth taking" and praising the seamless integration into the landscape.

Reviewed by the editorial of the travel club Mr & Mrs Smith (

We have been hard at work on the Masterton Library upgrade, delivering together with the Masterton District Council!

Located in the heart of the town, the library is an important community facility. As part of its 2024–34 Long-Term Plan, Masterton District Council is delivering a major refurbishment and extension in response to community feedback.

The project includes a full strip-out of the existing building, demolition, new roofing, windows, cladding, and a complete internal fit-out, alongside the construction of a new extension and landscaping on the east side of the current library.

Shout out to Council and the architects at WSP for providing the preliminary design renders.

When Unitec needed extensive remediation and refurbishment of Block 108, a 4,500m² building with a leaky roof and outdated interiors, they knew to count on Brosnan!

With a live campus environment and an evolving scope that grew to include an additional 3,500m² of floor area and three new lobby areas, we delivered this revitalised educational facility in five project stages. Our Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and ongoing collaboration enabled innovative solutions and programme adaptations, ensuring construction feasibility without compromising on quality.

Our team adhered to strict health and safety protocols while carefully managing logistics to minimise disruption on the busy campus. We proactively managed every step, from roof replacement and structural re-cladding to the complete interior fit-out, ensuring a high-quality finish and allowing for phased reoccupation as each area was completed.

The result is a modern, durable learning facility, and the delivery team, led by Lachlan Harrison, was recognised with Brosnan’s Project Team Award in the 2022 Excellence Awards.

Lauren Attwood has completed an incredible milestone: 10 years at Brosnan!

With experience gained across multiple roles within the company, including accounts administration, project administration and quantity surveying, Lauren showed confidence to manage any challenges she has faced, no matter the project.

She initially joined Brosnan as an Accounting Administrator; her enjoyment of the culture and flair for attention to detail led Lauren to move to document control while completing her Quantity Surveying Diploma.

After graduating, she was the quantity surveyor for our remediation of Unitec Building 108, the existing 4,500 m2, double-storey building housing many of the trade faculties taught on the campus, and M-One Apartments, a five-storey, 60-unit residential block set in the heart of Grey Lynn.

Congratulations from the whole team, Lauren!

At Brosnan, we bring a practical, design-led approach to retirement village construction and remediation, drawing on deep experience in sensitive, occupied environments.

Our capability spans new builds, refurbishments, and ongoing maintenance, ensuring villages remain safe, functional, and attractive for residents over the long term. With a focus on early contractor involvement, we work alongside developers and operators to reduce risk, improve buildability, and avoid costly surprises.

At Summerset Te Awa in Napier, we delivered while operating under a high-pressure programme. Our team maintained agility and kept the client fully informed of budget and timeline impacts as design changes arose.

Similarly, at Summerset Casebook, we completed a large-scale, multi-level concrete and carpentry package before successfully negotiating the follow-on timber-framing work. When supply chain issues threatened the programme, our ability to accelerate and increase in-house resources reduced the impact, and the building was handed over with zero defects and an exemplary safety record.

For retirement villages, this means Brosnan can handle façade maintenance, cladding replacements, seismic strengthening, and interior fit-outs with minimal disruption to residents. Our proactive maintenance planning helps clients protect their investment and avoid problems before they arise.

Brosnan offers the technical skill and collaborative approach that village operators need to maintain confidence in their most valued assets.

The spades are in the ground at the Shirley Community Reserve.

The sod turning on the new Shirley Community Facility officially kicks off this important project we are delivering for the Christchurch City Council. The 280m² build will bring a function room, kitchen, office spaces, meeting rooms, public toilets, and on-site parking to the reserve, along with solar panels and battery storage for long-term efficiency.

The project restores a vital gathering place that was lost when the former centre on Shirley Road was demolished in 2012 following earthquake damage. With construction expected to take around six months, we're looking forward to delivering a space that strengthens connection and community activity.

We want to thank the Council for providing the pictures of the event.

We are excited to share the first look at what will be a new senior in Rolleston College | Horoeka Haemata, Selwyn, the fastest-growing district in Aotearoa.

Partnering with the Ministry of Education, Brosnan is designing and building Stage 2 of the project: a campus that will provide 12 teaching spaces across a two-storey building, designed to support Years 11 – 13 learners.

The new facility will be delivered within a live school environment, requiring careful planning to maintain the school’s environment. Our goal is to make this process seamless and safe for everyone involved.

We’re focused on early procurement and conducted market testing to lock in competitive pricing and avoid surprises later. Our design team landed on a simplified, efficient design, applying practical value-engineering principles to reduce unnecessary complexity without compromising quality.

Regional Manager for the project, Reece Hutton, says it best:

“We believe this project is an opportunity to shape the future of education in Selwyn. Together, we can create a learning environment that inspires achievement and reflects the aspirations of a growing community. “
