Oaks Shores Apartments
Complex remediation of lakeside Oaks Shores Apartments
Oaks Shores Apartments, a four-block hotel and apartment complex on Lake Wakatipu’s shores, is undergoing extensive remediation in a highly constrained site with steep slopes and limited access. Early engagement enabled Brosnan and its engineers to design a bespoke Material Handling Unit, keeping the complex operational and minimising disruption for guests and residents.
The scope includes remediation of cladding, structural elements, balconies, joinery, roofs, and passive fire compliance, with hundreds of additional defects uncovered as work progressed. Brosnan’s flexible approach and robust communication have ensured all changes are managed and implemented efficiently. Construction occurs in a live environment, with careful scheduling to accommodate hotel operations and minimise noise and dust.
Blocks 1 and 2 are complete, with 3 and 4 underway, making this one of New Zealand’s largest remediation projects. The project is delivered with high quality assurance, no serious injuries, and strong stakeholder collaboration.

“We have engaged Brosnan to undertake a highly complex and complicated watertightness remediation. The nature of the project has called for a high level of planning, skill and attention to detail. Brosnan have overcome numerous unforeseen hurdles along the way. We have been impressed with the collaborative approach of Brosnan, particularly around methodology. They have provided innovative solutions for challenging situations, particularly as needs have evolved during construction. You certainly have an outstanding team; they all do a wonderful job. I can’t tell you how many times Brosnan has gone above and beyond for us, which I so appreciate. We have been incredibly fortunate to have such a talented, professional, and committed team. The team culture and integrity is second to none. The result to our complex has been exemplary.”
