60 | Work done by local contractors from page 58 Design of the subdivision was carried out by Barr Harris Surveyors, while the civil works were completed by J Swap Ltd. DEVELOPMENT Yungulla Property Trust: Peakedale Estate “The banks change in lending appetite has pushed home buyers towards fixed price house and land packages. “But we have also sold sections to smaller local builders and to people who wish to build their own homes.” Utilising the skills and capability of local firms has been a key objective of the development from the outset. Design of the subdivision was carried out by Barr Harris Surveyors, while the civil works were completed by J Swap Ltd, one of Matamata’s iconic family firms. Local plumbing and drainage company Comag installed the pipework infrastructure, while Northpower and Downer’s did the electrical network. “The whole development is surveyed and 3D modelled with a complete contour, with much of the development catered around storm-water management,” says Callum. “Swap knew how much they had to excavate from the surveying and geotechnical testing. The 3D model is punched into the excavators on board computer system so that the operator knows exactly where the edge of the road is and the depth he needs to dig.” to page 62 7 DAY EMERGENCY SERVICE Comber Street, Matamata ph. 888 8883 E. info@comagltd.co.nz Sevicing the Matamata Community for 50 years Obligation free quotes for all jobs, large and small • Roofing • Plumbing • Gas Fitting • Drainlaying Experienced professionals.
