AUDIT | TAX | ADVISORY A head for more than the numbers As Architects and Interior Designers we are delighted to have worked with Joseph & Associates Ltd for over 20 years. P. 03 3665445 E. design@dalman.co.nz W. www.dalman.co.nz Glacier Hot Pools Franz Josef With costs rising globally for both materials and labour, it is more important than ever that construction projects are set up for success. Joseph and Associates provides professional project management, quantity surveying, project strategy, and cultural services. Its team of highly skilled and experienced project managers and quantity surveyors has delivered many prominent projects particularly, in the tourism, commercial, and heritage sectors. “Poorly managed projects can lead to many problems, including budget blow-outs, lengthy delays, and major quality issues,” says Joseph and Associates managing director Tony Joseph. “We’ve even heard of successfully delivered projects where the business cases weren’t robust enough, so effective project management is essential to delivering successful business outcomes.” The benefit of robust feasibility upfront allows adjustments to be made on paper before committing to a project. Effort here saves time and costs later. Developing a clear brief, understanding the risks and impacts, the timeframes to design, consent, and build, the investment requirements, and the development and operational costs whilst being cognisant of the forecast return on investment are crucial. Joseph and Associates asks, listens, and plans before delivering projects to match the client’s vision. “Our project team has their fingers on the pulse of every job from the outset. They manage scope, costs, programme, risks and issues, communications, and reporting. They are the glue that brings all the pieces together to achieve great results.” Following the earthquakes, Majestic Church became one of many needing to rebuild. The goal was to re-establish a vibrant church for the central city community. Joseph & Associates’ role was to create and implement a multi-functional solution to redevelop and refurbish 17 existing buildings. The church now utilises a large amount of space for worship and many of the buildings provide rental income, making the most of the large inner-city space. Joseph and Associates adds value at every stage of a project and was recognised for this earlier this year with both a Gold Award and a Value Award from the New Zealand Commercial Projects Awards 2023 for delivering the breathtaking and unique Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa at Methven. Joseph and Associates worked closely with the owner and a main contractor, brought in early to negotiate a fixed price, examining every aspect of the design to ensure quality and value for money in this highly technical project. Joseph and Associates is now managing another exciting tourism project - Pegasus Hot Springs Resort in Canterbury – to revitalise the existing Pegasus Golf Course by providing tourist facilities including a hot pool spa and wellness complex, hotel, spa village, and a country club. Tony has been co-ordinating the project team to undertake masterplanning, prepare concepts, and design reports to create a Special Purpose Zone through the District Plan review process. Cultural engagement has also been part of this work. “Authentic relationships with local iwi are vital at the beginning of projects, to better understand cultural significance and impacts,” Tony says. “Early engagement and respectful korero upfront is key to improving the protection of rangatiratanga, te taiao, and taonga species, which provides the opportunity to enhance project outcomes.” From here, Joseph and Associates will take the concepts and further develop the brief and business case, then procure and manage the relevant consultants and contractors to design, consent, and construct Pegasus Hot Springs Resort.
