Property & Construction | Gen-Y Homes

Making any project smooth sailing Gen-Y Homes Ltd were contracted to build and project manage a new development of nine units on a large section running between Otley Street and Bealey Avenue, Christchurch. The original site had five flats that had to be demolished and the site needed to be prepared so the nine units could be built.

City Salvage Contractors were engaged to do the demolition and site preparation, and Paddy and his team of professionals got to work. The demolition wasn’t straight forward because the building had asbestos and City Salvage Contractors fully adhered to every health and safety compliance requirement and removed all the rubble and made ready for the site preparation. The site was then duly cleaned, leveled by City Salvage Contractors, and a spring was capped and the site handed over to the builders. Gen-Y Homes project managed the whole building process, from the site preparation to the driving of multiple piles and the completion of the extensive foundations to full and final CCC compliance, inspection and sign-off. The building of the nine units was an extensive process with Gen-Y Homes as the principal contractor and the whole relatively complicated process was discharged in a ‘best practice’ manner at all levels. The project manager ran the building site in a completely efficient and totally professional manner, and made sure that all the subcontractors completed their specific tasks on time and to the high standard required. At all stages the development went smoothly and met all building inspections, standards and codes, and there were no significant hold ups.
