Qualico Unveils First CLT Project at Highbury Qualico Construction Ltd has successfully completed its first Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) project at the Highbury Triangle development in Auckland. "This project showcases our planning and management skills and that we can take on new challenges and deliver," says Bing Loh, who owns the company alongside his business partner Jason Li. “We thank CMP for trusting Qualico to undertake this project.” Qualico Construction completed both the concrete foundation for Building B and the CLT timber installation. Bing says the Highbury Triangle project presented unique challenges, particularly in the precise management of timber moisture levels. The building's strict dimensional requirements meant that moisture control was crucial, as any variation could affect the timber's dimensions and compromise the structure's integrity. "Moisture management of the timber is always the challenge with timber construction," explains Bing. "We developed a comprehensive moisture management plan that required engineer approval before proceeding. This attention to detail ensured we maintained the tight tolerances required throughout the build." Jason and Bing says the success at Highbury Triangle particularly highlights Qualico Construction's ability to adapt to new construction methodologies while maintaining its high standards of quality and efficiency. The project's completion ahead of deadline demonstrates its strong project management capabilities and commitment to timely delivery. The company's achievement at Highbury Triangle has already led to further opportunities in the CLT sector, with Qualico Construction securing another CLT project with CMP Construction in Botany for a Metlifecare facility. Qualico Construction has established itself as a respected contractor in Auckland's construction sector, working with major clients including CMP Construction and Naylor Love. Its projects showcase its diverse capabilities, from concrete formwork at the Central Auckland Specialist School to work at Lynfield College, where it handled the concrete structure and precast installation for a new classroom block. The company has also made its mark in the commercial sector, having recently completed the foundations for Fisher & Paykel's head office in Penrose, further cementing its reputation for handling high-profile projects across the region. As both main contractors and subcontractors, Jason and Bing say that Qualico Construction brings a unique perspective to each project it undertakes. This dual experience allows it to operate efficiently while meeting main contractors' expectations and adhering to all health and safety regulations. The company maintains all necessary industry certifications, including Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) status and both SiteWise and Site Safe accreditations. The company's expertise spans several specialised areas including concrete structure formwork, mass timber installation and professional carpentry services. Bing and Jason says that the Qualico Construction team of highly qualified professionals is a point of difference. “Our team is made up of a group of professional builders who are passionate about building and construction and love what we do. We pride ourselves on our ability to build strong relationships with our clients through effective communication and personalised service,” says Jason. The company's growing portfolio of successful projects across Auckland, from educational facilities to commercial developments, reflects its versatility and reliable project delivery. With its proven track record in both traditional and innovative construction methods, Jason and Bing says that Qualico Construction aims to continue to strengthen its position as a trusted partner in Auckland's building sector.
