| 89 BUILDING Ajax Building Contractors The commercial building sector is creating a busy workload for Ajax Building Contractors Although it is a commercial building, the aesthetics of the exterior have been well-considered through the inclusion of Indurabond cladding, a lightweight metal composite cladding on the front façade, complemented with vertical coloured steel on the balance of the exterior to create an extremely appealing, contemporary look fitting for a progressive business. “This is like a master class in commercial building for Gore. I would say this would be one of the highest quality commercial buildings that will be constructed in Gore for quite some time. “The amount of detail that has been put into the design and the amount that has been invested shows the commitment to quality by all involved.” Throughout the project there has been continuous consultation by Ajax Building Contractors with the client to ensure a great outcome. “We regard it as a joint venture with XL, we’re certainly very proud of it and will be excited to hand it over in August.” Despite New Zealand facing a slowing economy, Tom believes Eastern Southland and Southland as a whole will not experience the same degree of belt tightening as regions further north. Looking forward, Ajax’s heavy workload also shows no sign of slowing down. Among the work it has on its books, the company has successfully tendered for a number of Ministry of Education school projects in the region with a total value of about $1.7 million. This includes additions and upgrades and although these are commercial jobs, for some of Ajax’s staff they have a personal element. “It’s good for a local business like us to be able to do this work. Some of our staff have got family at these schools, so we always try to target schools that have ties to Ajax.” Rylock Otago See us for all your aluminium joinery requirements New Homes Renovations Conservatories Specialists in Double-glazed conversions into existing aluminium & timber joinery, “Windsor” Sectional & Roller Garage Doors, “Unex” Balustrade Systems, Retractable Insect Screens. 25 Gladstone Rd, Mosgiel • Ph: 03 489 4676 • www.rylock.co.nz With professional tradespeople servicing Southland, Central and West Otago, we are your one point of call for residential, commercial or industrial projects.
