The development at 18-26 Strathmore Ave, Strathmore Park is a Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities development that consists of 8, two-storey units of timber frame construction built upon concrete slabs.
A little smaller than the majority of projects Aoraki have taken on to date, the Strathmore Ave development is a great opportunity for our
Project and Site Managers, Aaron and Jacob, to get back to their roots - both being qualified carpenters by trade.
This is also our first Homestar accredited project, whereby we must achieve the requirements of a Homestar 6 rating. While much of this is
achieved in the design and materials specifications, there is an additional onus on us to ensure that we minimise site waste, redirecting waste from landfill as much as possible. Needless to say this is a welcome metric which we have no problem meeting!
