Congratulations on a job well done to Macrennie Commercial Construction The project is a Green Star rated building, which meant Macrennie had to adhere to certain criteria such as diverting a certain percentage of waste from landfill. Other aspects involved environmental audits, including dust and noise control, a 10,000-litre rainwater harvesting tank to supply water for the irrigation system and solar panels located on the distribution centre roof. The project also included offices, plant rooms such as an MSB room and SVR. The external yard involved heavy pavement design with multiple armoured joints and secondary saw cuts at certain dimensions and engineered design slab for the container docks. There were 17 flush docks, two gatehouses (for entry and exit) and two weighbridges located prior to entry and exit to the gatehouses. The project took approximately 18 months from start to finish with practical completion achieved in May 2022. At peak Macrennie had close to 140 contractors on site. Macrennie are still completing variations for the client including banana ripening rooms that are currently being constructed and container docks. Macrennie Commercial Construction was established in 1980 and has built up a reputation as a major player in the construction of commercial and industrial projects. Steve Anderson, Tim O’Leary, Michael White and Bryce Caldwell govern the company. All of the company’s directors are involved heavily in the day-to-day running of the business. Macrennie provides construction services in the Auckland region, typically assuming the role of head contractor. It can also take on a variety of contract types depending on client requirements including negotiated, early contractor engagement and design and build. Kyle says that strong client relationships - founded on integrity and developed with professionalism - are at the core of Macrennie’s success as a design and construction partner. Macrennie employs a highly skilled team of construction industry professional managers, technicians, tradespeople and labourers. Kyle says that this allows the company to provide in-house project management, quantity surveying, programming, carpentry and site management. Macrennie also build its own concrete structures. Kyle says that employing its own staff gives the company greater control over project delivery and quality levels as well as resulting in increased staff ‘buy in’. This has a direct effect on the company’s performance. “We are very lucky to have a good reliable workforce. Our team are the unsung heroes that make the business tick and every project a success.”
