40 | Custom built facility caters for future growth The new 1300sqm office and workshop facility with car parking and yard. Higgins 560Ltd - Hawes Building Solutions T T Karen Phelps REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT When Electrical Inspection Services (EIS) needed new premises to accommodate growth, the solution was to construct a custom built facility. The project in Kiriwehi Street, Tauriko, Tauranga, is being constructed by Hawes Building Solutions and EIS director Chris Higgins says the project is progressing well and on track for EIS to move in early next year. “CM Consulting and Hawes Building Solutions have managed the whole process exceptionally well and been great to deal with,” he says. It’s a big step up from the current 500sqm metre premises nearby the company is presently operating from to the new 1300sqm office and workshop facility with car parking and yard. “It will help to further increase efficiencies, be a great place for staff to work, and really set us up for future growth,” says Chris. The project will also include three commercial units, of between 240-380sqm with dedicated car parking, which are for sale. With a lack of new commercial space this size in the region Chris says this presents a great opportunity for businesses. “It’s a great location and will have good access to the State Highway when the new roundabout at Redwood Lane goes in. Property Brokers are the exclusive agents and interested parties can feel free to make contact.” Chris started Electrical Inspection Services Ltd in 2008 and the business has steadily grown. While electrical inspections, revenue metering, and connecting homes to the electricity network were a core focus for EIS in its early years, business growth has seen EIS expand into the major works market on the Powerco network. “We started out completing electrical inspections and metering, moving on to installing the standard low voltage green power boxes you see outside houses which built our reputation as a safe, trusted, and reliable operator. “We worked with Powerco to move into major works in 2016 and have developed competent staff and robust systems and processes to provide a competitive option for the major works we are involved with today. “As a Powerco Authorised Contractor, EIS now regularly work on the high voltage (11,000 volt) network installing transformers, switches, and other electrical components,” says Chris. EIS employs a small team of around 20 staff with electrical inspectors working on the Powerco network from the Bay of Plenty to the Coromandel and out to Morrinsville/Ngatea districts. Alongside the fully qualified electrical inspection staff, EIS has dedicated and competent electrical fitters, cable jointers, and line mechanics, as well as supporting progression in the electrical industry by training apprentices on the team. “We cater to diverse customer requirements including the installation of power metering, pre-purchase inspections, caravan WOF, cable locations, or builders temporary power supplies. We also install reticulation for subdivisions and commercial properties.” As EIS continues to work with electricians, developers, surveyors, and private customers, it takes an individual approach to each job. “On every project we look at risks and opportunities, creating a plan to meet all requirements and working closely with customers to ensure the best outcome for the best possible price.” FOR ALL YOUR EARTHWORKS REQUIREMENTS Proud to be associated with Hawes Building Solutions EARTHMOVING & CARTAGE CONTRACTOR P 07 578 2887 | E admin@pageearthworks.co.nz | www.pageearthworks.co.nz EARTHWORKS LTD
