90 | BUILDING Cohesive Construction (Wide Span Sheds) T T Virginia Wright ‘Everything from concept to fit out’ Cohesive Group are completing a 1700m2 multi tenancy warehouse in Christchurch for Total Energies NZ. Cohesive Construction are one arm of the Cohesive Group which includes Cohesive Design and Cohesive Homes. As the names suggest they offer a onestop-shop design and construction business and with seven branches in the North Island and two in the South their approximately 200 builds a year can be found anywhere from the Harbour Bridge to Bluff. More or less evenly split between administration and construction their 150 staff include quantity surveyors, architectural technicians, designers, builders, foremen, project managers and other industry professionals who collaborate to take a job from concept to construction using the same team. That continuity of people underpinning each job means everyone has a stake in the game and the results speak for themselves with repeat customers a regular feature of their work. Cohesive is a family owned and operated business which began in 2015 in Ashburton when the Lynch family branched out from their dairy farming roots to become the South Island’s sole distributor of Wide Span Sheds: a wide range of pre-engineered cold-rolled steel buildings made using New Zealand steel. As the scope of what they were being asked to build increased they created Cohesive Group to more accurately reflect the work they were doing whether it was a large commercial building or multi-lease unit. Working with clients to give them just what they need has been a feature of their business since the beginning. “Wide Span Sheds are cold form steel sheds that are site specifically engineered and custom designed to fit your requirements and then delivered in kit set form. “Once you start getting into structural steel, timber framed offices, tilt panels and various industry specific designs and materials that is where it becomes more complex which is where Cohesive Group comes in says Marketing Manager, Ayesha Harnett. Ayesha has been with the company all the way through its expansion from what were effectively rectangular sheds (Wide Span) to what might now be anything from a large industrial building to a multi-unit residential build (Cohesive Group), with a steady stream of ‘shed homes’ being a space where the two companies meet. “It can be a shed that is literally turned into a home with some simple engineering which falls under Wide-Span or we can do big and grand with all sorts of add-ons and then it falls under the Cohesive umbrella. “But regardless of which umbrella it comes under we can still do everything from concept to fit out,” explains Ayesha. What that looks like depends on what it is and who it’s for, so it could be a fully carpeted, painted and furnished three tenancy office warehouse; or, as in a recent shed home built in Central Otago, it could start with a Wide Shed hangar built adjacent to the owner’s airstrip, to which Cohesive Construction added a completely bespoke home which allowed him to live on site on the airstrip; or it could be a five bay workshop complete with hoists and cranes, with a house attached allowing the client to run their business from home.
