Main Contractor for New Build – Kimi Ora Transition Satellite Unit at 60 Woburn Road Lower Hutt for Kimi Ora School

The Board of Trustees are seeking the services of a main contractor to undertake the construction works to construct a new transition satellite unit block at 60 Woburn Road Lower Hutt as described in the tender documents. This involves the following work:
•
Connection to inground services and minor site preparation
•
Construction of a new single level light framed timber building approx. 200sqm on a suspended timber floor supported by driven pile foundations.
•
There is a separate early works package that is being undertaken to demolish some existing structures and clear the site ready for the new construction. This work is being done by others and will be completed prior to the start of the new build contract works.
•
The project is medium in scale – the physical works touching only the area concerned with the new approximately 200m2, the surrounding site will be subject to landscaping and site works and new services connections will be required for the new build.
•
The work will need to be carefully planned to ensure the delivery date of late April 2025 is met. Careful coordinating of product and material deliveries, human resources and construction activities will be crucial. This building is being designed with quality, rapid and efficient constructability in mind – the successful tenderer will need to be able to represent that mentality in their ROI response. Please provide a programme that demonstrates your best handover date.
•
The project will be a complete turnkey project where the completed section of the building ready for school use will be handed over on completion.
