Project Overview

We were engaged to carry out a complete commercial HVAC installation in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty Region. The project scope included full ducting, air distribution, fan coil unit installation, fresh air integration, and finishing works. All work was executed as per approved engineering design and in compliance with New Zealand standards including WorkSafe regulations, the NZ Building Code (HVAC and ventilation clauses), fire safety and smoke control requirements, and proper access and maintenance clearances.

Key Challenges

× Heavy lifting and installation constraints with large duct sections and FCUs in limited access areas
× Precision duct fabrication required on-site due to real site conditions while maintaining design accuracy
× Complex airflow balancing across fresh air, supply air, and return air systems to avoid pressure imbalance
× Space constraints in vertical shafts for riser and vertical distribution with coordination of other services
× Exposed duct areas required clean, aligned, and professional finish meeting visual standards
× Precise grille and grill box positioning needed for airflow efficiency and integration with ceiling and architectural elements
