Stadium Gardens

Only a short walk to Wellington’s CBD, Stadium Gardens is a conveniently located five-storey apartment building. Along with 86 units, the building has covered parking and a large internal

atrium which includes a garden and patio.

Brosnan was initially contracted to undertake earthquake remediation and exterior façade restoration. As the project progressed, additional building deficiencies were identified. The scope increased to include internal apartment repairs, invasive crack investigation, large areas of cladding replacement and plastering, a complete roof cladding replacement and demolishing, and rebuilding of a central staircase.

A large number of the brick infill walls on the ground floor were also reinstated with a lightweight timber frame and a plaster cladding system.It was important to the client that the building remained occupied during construction. In order to achieve this requirement, a methodology was established to undertake the works in four stages, one for each building facade.

By adopting this approach, project disruption and inconvenience were minimised. Despite additional variation work expanding the initial scope, the project was successfully delivered through a collaborative team that maintained clear and consistent communication with both residents and the client throughout the duration of the project.
