102 | T T Bernadette Cooney Innovative problem solver at the helm Totalspan Nelson: Andrew, Diane and Nicola Crompton. BUILDING Totalspan - Nelson Totalspan Nelson franchisee’s, Andrew and Diane Crompton epitomise the brand’s slogan, Who Can? Totalspan, as they near their first year in business. “We can make it happen,” says Andrew, “Whatever you need; from a back yard tool shed to the largest customizable commercial steel building, we deliver quality, affordable customised steel buildings that will last a lifetime.” With a forty-year engineering background, fifteen of which were in steel bridge building, Andrew, is the innovative problem solver you need when building a quality New Zealand steel building. This month of March will mark the first year as franchise owners for the Crompton’s – who moved to the Nelson-Tasman region from Napier to run the Richmond-based business in March 2023. Diane’s background in fine art and design provides the creative balance to Andrew’s logical construction skills. Together with two in-house builders and their daughter Nicola, who takes care of admin, accounts and marketing - this family-run business is certainly building on the hard work put in by the previous owners. Totalspan have been New Zealand’s most trusted steel building manufacturer for 25 years. Making, building and backing their work with a 25-year structural guarantee and a fiveyear workmanship warranty. Tough NZ steel framed buildings are customised to specific engineered sizes in almost any configuration to suit your needs. From warehouses and offices, workshops to factories and storage units or aircraft hangars, Totalspan can do it. “At the moment we’re building a 750 square metre commercial building here in Richmond,” says Andrew. “We are constructing a large new warehouse for a national fruit and vegetable supplier which is due to be completed in February this year. At the time of writing, Andrew and the team were at the earthworks stage of the build. “We’re taking care of all aspects of the build – from the design to the manufacture and the build – it will be the largest project we have undertaken to date,” he says. Totalspan steel buildings have a solution for rural and lifestyle properties, working farms and orchardists too, with a wide variety of sheds available to suit every need. From farm sheds, dairy sheds, utility sheds, machinery sheds, horse stables, hay barns, heritage barns or animal shelters – Totalspan have a building to suit. And of course, garages and carports. Flat roof or gable carports, single or multi bay and garages – single, double or triple garages customised how you want them. Want a garage with a workshop? Or how about an awning or a sleepout or loads of storage space? The customised steel kitsets are manufactured at Totalspan’s Christchurch factory and are subject to stringent quality control procedures. Totalspan offers limitless options tailored to your individual needs. “You can build it yourself or we can manage the build including the council consents, earthworks, concrete work, erecting the structure, obtaining code of compliance to handing over the keys,” Andrew says. Steel allows for faster construction and is longer lasting says Andrew. “There’s no warping, rotting or rusting – just strong, straight, steel clad structures that last.” Totalspan Nelson services the entire Nelson Tasman region from Collingwood to Hira, and the Nelson Lakes and Murchison down to the Tasman coast. • 100% recyclable, resulting in less harm to our environment. • Steel framing is cost effective; it’s not affected by the weather, it’s 70% lighter than timber framing, and it can be erected by hand. • Steel will not warp or twist as it does not absorb moisture, so building with steel resulting in straight walls, square corners and flush surfaces for the life of your home. • It doesn’t require treating with chemical preservatives, so it’s safer for people who live or work around it, and it’s not flammable.
