RCS CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISES IN LEAKY BUILDING REPAIRS, SEISMIC STRENGTHENING AND PASSIVE FIRE UPGRADES

RECLADDING

Leaky homes can be difficult to sell and normally sell well below market value.
Recladding gives you the opportunity to not only give your building a fresh new look but to make changes to the original design and modernise your home.

PASSIVE FIRE UPGRADES

Many commercial buildings around New Zealand are putting lives and property at risk because they don’t comply with fire safety standards.

Retrospective applications can be challenging and need careful planning.

SEISMIC STRENGTHENING

Earthquakes are a real and present risk in New Zealand. Being prepared is much better than dealing with the consequences. RCS Construction helps ensure you get an effective and economical outcome.

PROCUREMENT OPTIONS

RCS Construction gears the procurement process towards the success of your project.
It is vital to clarify your requirements early in the project, and we welcome discussing
these available options with you.

EARLY CONTRACTOR INVOLVEMENT

ECI is an economical and agile procurement solution. Right from the start, the project teams of client, consultants and contractors collaborate for the best project outcome. Including RCS Construction in this early phase collaboration helps us to manage and optimise the budget for better value and buildability.

LUMP SUM

The foundation of our work ethos is to add value. Our dependable supply chain including trusted material suppliers and reliable subcontractors ensure project efficiency and excellence.

We provide highly competitive Lump Sum pricing and proposals to give our clients certainty on project cost and programme delivery.

P&G + MARGIN

With the P&G + Margin option, RCS Construction provides complete accountability and transparency. This open-book process, like the Early Contractor Involvement option, ensures collaboration with all parties throughout the design process. We tender trades and present in an open book fashion and our P&G value and Margin percentages are both fixed.

DESIGN & BUILD
LUMP SUM

Integrating and entrusting the design and build components to the experienced team at RCS Construction ensures the best possible outcome for our clients. A single lump sum price means our clients can plan with clarity and complete assurance. When the project is well defined using specialist proven designers in conjunction with RCS Construction’s in depth knowledge, significant changes are unlikely and our client’s satisfaction is ensured.

PROJECTS

SPENCER ROAD, ALBANY

59 APARTMENTS
The upstairs apartments in this complex all had concrete decks which leaked into the units below causing considerable damage. We removed the tiles and grout from all decks, created new falls, replaced the waterproofing membranes and installed new floating tile decks. We lifted the door thresholds and installed new ranch sliders to all decks.

We also renovated 70% of the bathrooms at the same time and gave the building a full external and internal repaint and installed new handrails to all decks.

1 AMBRICO PLACE, NEW LYNN

FULL RECLADDING OF 97 APARTMENTS
This project was carried out in stages and fully occupied throughout the recladding process. This demanded a lot of management and communication between all occupiers to carry out the project safely and securely.

RCS Construction also carried out the roof and internal gutter remediation at the same time.

93-97 & 99 MAYS ROAD, ONEHUNGA

TWO NEIGHBOURING COMPLEXES - 95 APARTMENTS
Complete recladding of all apartments including the full replacement of the water main system on both complexes. The largest block of units ran parallel with the railway lines posing more challenges.

We shut down the railway system and erected and removed scaffolding in 1 night, after hours. This took a small army of men but was successfully achieved without any issues.

76-84 THE STRAND PARNELL

This was a full reclad and re-roof of 69 apartments. This included repitching of all roofs, internal gutters and extensive timber framing replacement. All kitchens and bathrooms needed removal and replacement.

The inter tenancy walls were never initially fire rated so we installed a full fire rated system to the inter tenancy walls including pipe and cable penetrations.

QUEST ON MOUNT, AUKLAND CBD

This was a full re-roof to a 13-story apartment block including new cladding to the lift shaft, and the installation of new davit arms for abseiling. The project required a fair amount of coordination relating to road closures for craning roofing materials, cladding, and allowing trucks to enter the narrow street. The new davit arms needed to be welded into the existing structure while protecting the existing structure from any potential fire and water ingress. RCS Construction was responsible for the project management and logistics, ensuring a structured and trouble free operation.

HUNTERS MEWS, PAPATOETOE

This was a full reclad and reroof to 56 three storied apartments in Papatoetoe. Also included was the full reconstruction of the balconies on each apartment and external joinery replacement.

MONTEREY APARTMENTS, HOWICK

This was a full reclad of 19 apartments, including roof, internal gutters and balcony reconstruction, new external joinery and hand rails throughout and internal refurbishment.
Constructing scaffolding on top of and around neighbouring buildings and businesses made this a challenging project.

VICTORIA PARK TERRACES, AUCKLAND CBD

This job involved a full re-clad of 25 apartments above commercial units below, each unit also had a re-roof as well as roof and gutter reconstruction and full joinery replacement. All of the upper and lower bathrooms were completely renovated and kitchens replaced as part of the work. We also carried out structural strengthening to the commercial units beneath the complex and completely replaced the carpark waterproofing membrane.

One of the challenges of this project was having a high-rise building constructed from the ground up while we worked next to them, less than half a metre away. Because the neighbouring building was too close, we had to prebuild and clad two storied wall panels on site for 9 of the apartments and crane them into position.

KEVALE PLACE, MANUREWA

Situated in South Auckland, this complex consisted of a block of 5 and a block of 8 units, a stand-alone home and a duplex. The job was phased in three stages to allow tenant occupancy during construction.

A full reclad with over 70% timber replacement was carried out with several of the units having new bathrooms and kitchens installed. The project was completed ahead of schedule.

COLLEEN COURT, COCKLE BAY, HOWICK

This project was a 600m2 two-story high-end home, situated on a cliff top in Cockle bay. The home was completely stripped of its cladding, roof completely removed, along with the pergolas, fire place and large decks. It was then assessed by the consultants for its defects and reconstructed around the new consent. This was a particularly difficult site due to it being situated on the edge of a cliff and having to battle constant high winds and rain. The job was completed on time without any issues.

63 KESTEV DRIVE, FLAT BUSH

Currently under construction is this 4 storied apartment complex in flat Bush. It involves a full reclad, partial re-roof and full external joinery replacement. Also included is extensive passive fire work internally and fire protection to the steelwork on all levels. Internally we have carried out replacement of plasterboard and every unit will be re-painted.
