Summit on Symonds

Scope

‍

The Summit on Symonds is a prominent mixed-use complexin vibrant Auckland, housing 45 apartments and 15 retail outlets. Brosnan wasinitially engaged to replace windows on levels three to six of the fullyoccupied building, a project requiring the complete scaffolding and wrapping ofthe structure.

As work commenced and further investigations tookplace, significant additional weathertightness damage was discovered. Thisexpanded the scope to a comprehensive façade remediation, including thereplacement of framing, strengthening the parapet, installing new joinery andcladding, and a full repaint. The necessary scale of this work required thecareful temporary relocation of some residents.

The project presented significant technicalchallenges, including complex curved joinery that demanded exceptional qualitycontrol. A key innovation came from our team, which re-engineered an overlycomplex window-sill design. By proposing an alternative method that enabledinternal bracket installation, we enabled concurrent work sequencing, slashingthis critical phase from 2 months to 2 weeks.

Through diligent communication and planning,disruption for occupants was minimised, and a carefully staged reoccupationensured a smooth transition for all residents and tenants. Brosnan successfullydelivered this complex remediation project ahead of schedule.
