Hobbs Point

Hobbs Point Aerial

The development of a town centre and marina on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula.

A town centre and marina development involving office, retail, residential and public space components as well as roading and infrastructure works.

MPM’s involvement in this project started at a late stage of design. A design rethink was implemented to achieve the client’s desired outcomes at a lower cost. This was achieved by appointing an experienced contractor early in the process and entering into negotiations with them for the works. Value engineering strategies were put into practice as well as carrying out investigations of the site conditions and alternative construction methods.

QA procedures were established to reassess all aspects of the works and closely monitor the construction timelines. MPM also reviewed the whole site/project and coordinated early works to ensure the results flowed seamlessly into the desired outcome of the master plan. We also reviewed timescales of all phases linked to earthwork’s seasons so as to allow works on site to progress without stoppages.
