Haydn & Rollett Construction was the main contractor for the upgrade of the Saatchi & Saatchi building in Auckland. The company says the works programme needed to be staged to minimise disruption to occupied tenancies. "This required a lot of planning. Many tenants had complex IT set-ups that were difficult to move, so this involved very close liaison between the project manager, tenants and ourselves."Works were designed so they could be undertaken in multiple stages without significant additional costs being incurred. The age of the building also meant measurements were not precise. We would complete one stage, then stop and measure up for the next installation."
