96 | Preserving heritage character Arrowtown’s character has been preserved through the use of traditional materials such as bagged schist and weatherboard. T T from page 94 Scott Construction Central DEVELOPMENT However, the project has not been without its challenges. The excavation works presented some difficulties due to the combination of schist rock interfaced with softer materials. Despite those hurdles, the project has benefited from the close working relationship with the developers, which has enabled quick decision-making and has, ultimately, prevented delays. The Arrowtown development has made the most of locally sourced subcontractors and suppliers, reinforcing the commitment to community engagement and sustainable practices. Local collaboration has not only supported the regional economy, but also ensured that the materials and craftsmanship are in keeping with Arrowtown’s heritage. Scott Construction has also worked hard to avoid potential supply chain disruptions, securing and storing products ahead of time, something that was crucial in avoiding delays and ensuring the continuous progress of the build. To enable all four buildings to be constructed simultaneously has required a team of 12 skilled carpenters handling all carpentry-related tasks. As the project shifts its focus to finishing trades in June, the Scott Construction team size will decrease. Scott Construction continues to expand its workload in Central Otago, engaging in Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) contracts for the majority of its projects. “This enables Scott’s to sit at the design table providing expertise in design management, construction methodology, programming, procurement strategies and cost control,” Tony said. Aside from architecturally designed homes, Scott Construction specialises in commercial new builds, alterations and fit outs, seismic strengthening, civil construction, residential developments and retirement developments. The team’s ongoing work spans across Wanaka, Cromwell, Queenstown, and the Mackenzie District, showcasing their versatility and commitment to quality across various regions.
