| 81 T T Karen Phelps Intricate fit-out as build comes to completion The fit-out is one of the final phases of the development at 93 Cameron Road. iLine Construction DEVELOPMENT iLine Construction is currently completing the fit-out for the top two floors at 93 Cameron Road in Tauranga for tenant Manawa. Led by iLine Construction project manager Luke Sadler, the intricate fit-out encompasses a curved feature wall with an innovative signage system with embedded lights. Luke says the process involves craftsmanship and attention to detail coordinating with base build elements. The exposed ceiling on the top level is another notable feature, and aligning the exposed services and base build façade demands the base build to meet an exceptionally high standard to complement the fitout design, says Luke. Working in tandem with interior design company Wingates for interior design and base build architect Cube, Luke emphasises the collaborative effort needed. The fitout is one of the final phases of 93 Cameron Road. The project kicked off in June 2022 with iLine Construction offering early contractor involvement, working with the project design team and client to come up with an efficient build methodology for a five storey commercial project for client Wallace Developments. Luke says the main project challenge was delivering full utilisation of the site, which is bordered by another building, a laneway and two roads. “The key drivers for our basement methodology were maximising the building footprint within the site boundaries as well as limiting the time we spent in the ground as the bulk excavations and foundation aligned with the winter months. “In conjunction with our piling and earthworks contractors we were able to put forward a solution that best suited the project and was executed even better than expected,” he says. What was originally planned was a sheet pile with precast panels, which would have meant digging down and completing the precast foundations to form the walls and would have been difficult to waterproof. iLine Construction put forward an alternative piling and shotcrete method, which saw it basically completing the walls before it had even started digging down. Luke says the other benefit was that this formed the complete wall so iLine Construction could build right to the boundary maximising the building space. Tauranga-based company iLine Construction has been in operation since 2012 garnering accolades for its versatility across commercial, residential, industrial and fitout sectors. Luke attributes its success to the company’s ability to offer expertise in costing, budgeting, design advice, and project management, ensuring the seamless progression of projects from initiation to fruition. “Our efficient and comprehensive approach to construction provides clear guidance and consultation at the pivotal design and cost management phases of a project, while also offering invaluable benefits throughout the entire project lifespan,” says Luke. “We pride ourselves on our experience, technical ability, health and safety processes and resources, offering significant benefits to the construction process thanks to our in-house design service, industry smarts, accurate estimating, cost certainty and accountability.” He says the strength of ILine Construction lies in its dedicated team, encompassing design professionals, project and site management specialists, and a robust construction team that is committed to delivering results within stipulated timelines and budgets. As the fitout at 93 Cameron Road continues Luke considers this aspect of the project demonstrates iLine Construction’s adeptness at working with diverse trades to deliver a high-quality product within the stipulated timeframe and budget. 93 Cameron Road is slated for completion early 2024. “The key drivers for our basement methodology were maximising the building footprint within the site boundaries as well as limiting the time we spent in the ground as the bulk excavations and foundation aligned with the winter months.” Call us on 07 571 1114 today. carpet, f loors &more Cnr 11th Ave & Cameron Rd, Tauranga www.theflooringroom.co.nz Your COMMERCIAL FLOORING SPECIALISTS
