Subcontracting to Haydn & Rollett, JC McCall was responsible for gas tting and plumbing for the project, as well as the drainlaying inside the building and the siphonic downpipe system on the exterior. Project Manager Dan Williams ran the Costco job along with a small team of JC McCall plumbers. Andrew Winks, another Project Manager who has been with JC McCall for over ten years, did all the siphonic downpipes system in the Costco carpark area. Challenges faced during the project included global supply chain disruption, staff off sick and lockdowns which all impacted the project. Company Estimator and Project Manager Paul Simpson says this all meant tight timeframes to get the job done. “It was certainly a large job with a lot of different plumbing requirements. The speci cations for hardware came from the USA, including for items such as sinks and large ovens for bakeries. We had to work out their speci c requirements and help them to adapt these to New Zealand requirements,” he says. Both credit their team with the success of the project. JC McCall employs around 35 staff and has a family team culture. Many employees have been with the company their whole careers meaning there is a great deal of experience. Peter, who has been with JC McCall for 40 years, and Richard, 20 years, are good examples. “We understand construction and the importance of timeframes and budgets, and we make sure our solutions complement our clients’ development needs,” says Richard. “The project is also indicative of the emphasis that JC McCall places on forming strong relationships with clients,” says Paul. “Haydn & Rollett know we will get the job done. The Costco representative we liaised with was on the ground and could answer questions quickly to keep the project moving forward. It was a very collaborative team approach.” “We know what it takes to complete high pro le, time-sensitive construction projects,” adds Richard. “When time is money, our clients need a partner that will get the job done, and done well.” JC McCall was founded by John McCall in 1978 and is today owned by Clare, Peter, Richard and Paul.
