Main Roofing Contractor - Gym Roof Works - Albany Senior High School

The School is procuring replacement of the existing gymnasium roof and associated minor structural, weatherproofing and potential (minor) roof-space ventilation work. The 10-year Property Plan prepared in June 2024 described roof repair, but subsequent review identified that a full long-run metal roof replacement is the project scope. One corroded metal purlin line is known to require like-for-like replacement.

History: the existing roof is approximately 18 years old. Long-run metal sheets and the identified purlin corrosion make isolated repair unsuitable as the base scope.

Outcome sought: a durable, weathertight gymnasium roof with suitable underlay, flashings, closures and interfaces; repair of the identified deteriorated support/fixing components; protection of the School and gym; and inspection, warranties and complete handover records. The works must comply with all relevant specifications contained in the MoE “Weathertightness Design Requirements for School Buildings (v3.2)” section 10. Early engagement with Auckland Council indicates that these works are exempt from Consent under schedule 1 of the Building Act, 2004. Written confirmation of this will be obtained before contract execution.

The intended physical works start (mobilisation) is 15 December 2026. Target Practical Completion is 20 January 2027, with programme margin to 27 January 2027 for weather, latent conditions and minor defect remediation.
