Broad perspective

NME Electrical is the nominated contractor for Summerset, undertaking and completing villages for the company North Island-wide, says NME Auckland general manager Aaron Theobald.

The company set in place a wide array of electrical features, many specific to the nature of this contemporary retirement complex and the aged-care sector.

"Summerset is diligent in terms of providing high levels of product and service to its residents, which means we are too installing up-to-date main electrical, power distribution, and lighting systems including green aspects, such as lighting control," says Theobald. "We also undertook the mechanical electrical, emergency call, security, access systems, phone/data, as well as energy management and metering in conjunction with innovative electricity retailer EDC (Energy Distribution Company)."

Having completed the full underground reticulation of the site, and Villa Stages 1 and 2, a potential problem could have been integrating the existing systems into the new building's control centre.

"Innovative thinking and forward planning from all involved meant this wasn't an issue, however, and the changeover happened seamlessly and efficiently," he says. "NME has been involved with the site from the beginning it is very satisfying to see the culmination of a lot of work resulting in a main building of this stature."
