XL Structural Steel: helping Parkwood Products expand for the future xlstructural.co.nz | 0800 428 800 Construction made easy. When New Zealand’s leading door manufacturers, Parkwood Products Ltd, sought to expand its operations, they wanted more than just additional space; they needed a solution tailored to fit their specific needs, vision and budget. That’s where XL Structural Steel became an essential partner in their future growth. Known for their expertise in guiding businesses through the often complex process of building expansion and construction, XL Structural Steel was the perfect fit. “XL loves working with clients wanting to move to the next stage of growth – and that is exactly where Parkwood was when they approached us,” XL Structural Steel Project Consultant Vern Lawry said. Parkwood’s challenge was clear: they needed more capacity for a growing product line. Several options were considered, and XL helped the Parkwood team identify the most practical solution—an extension to their existing facility, complete with loading canopies and additional warehouse space. The entire design, from architectural blueprints to structural engineering, was handled in-house by XL. This seamless approach not only ensured efficiency but kept the project on budget and on schedule. To bring the design to life, XL partnered with local contractor W & W Construction, ensuring that local skills and expertise were utilised. Parkwood’s plant expansion is now fully operational, marking another successful collaboration between XL and a client poised for growth. But what makes XL Structural Steel the go-to for companies like Parkwood? For many of their clients, XL solves three common problems: concerns about budget blowouts and lead times; navigating complicated compliance and council approvals; and simplifying over-engineered designs. XL’s in-house design team works closely with clients to provide what’s necessary for their project—nothing more, nothing less. “We help business leaders navigate through budget constraints and compliance complexities to deliver a building that is a commercial success,” Vern said. The XL system, refined by XL’s parent company Alpine Buildings NZ Ltd, integrates all stages of construction— from design to build—so that engineers, architects, and fabricators work together, avoiding the costly miscommunication that often happens when these professionals operate in silos. For Parkwood, and countless other businesses, this approach has delivered results that are both practical and efficient. XL Structural Steel doesn’t just build for today, they build for the future - enabling their clients to move confidently into the next stage of growth.
