An important milestone for our next project in Hamilton, with resource consent now granted for 53 new homes at Te Rapa Road.
Home Construction is proud to be the main contractor on this development, working alongside Kāinga Maha and a wider team of consultants and project partners to bring it through the planning stages and into construction.
For our team, some of the most important work has already happened well before the first digger arrives on site.
A major part of the project's development has involved reviewing how the homes can be constructed efficiently, while maintaining the quality, durability and performance expected of a development of this scale.
One significant decision was the move from a precast concrete structural approach to the Stackcell in-situ concrete formwork system. Our team has invested considerable time in research and development alongside Kāinga Maha, Blueprint Consulting Engineers and specialist partners to work through the practical application of this construction methodology.
It's the sort of decision that influences much more than the structure itself. It shapes construction sequencing, site logistics, trade coordination and ultimately how efficiently a project can be delivered.
The development will comprise 35 two-bedroom and 18 one-bedroom homes, designed to Homestar 6 standard, alongside shared green spaces and community facilities.
With resource consent now in place, we're looking forward to progressing into the next stage of works and seeing this development take shape.
A big thank you to Kāinga Maha, Home Capital Partners, The Salvation Army and the many consultants and partners who have helped bring the project to this point. We're looking forward to delivering it together.
