A little over a year ago, a team of installers, suppliers and a local radio station gave the Christchurch Yacht Club a new roof in a single day.

The clubhouse was built in 1938 and had needed constant repairs since the Christchurch earthquakes. For Zach McKay of Graham Hill Roofing Ltd, the best part wasn’t the roof itself but seeing what it meant to the club.

On Tuesday 13 October, Graham Hill Roofing and The Breeze Canterbury 94.5FM do it all again, and we’re proud to be backing it as a supplier!

Tune in to The Breeze Canterbury on the day (94.5 FM / 100.5 FM), or listen anywhere through the ROVA app by choosing The Breeze and switching the region to Canterbury.

Featuring ColorCote MagnaFlow in Pioneer Red, roll-formed by Roofing Industries in the Corrugate profile.

We’re at In:Situ and part of our stand this year is celebrating some epic projects by architects across NZ. First up: the resilience of Brass Monkey Hut!

Architect Graeme Jacobs worked with backcountry_trust_nz to design this award-winning alpine hut, clad in classic Kiwi corrugate roll formed by dimondroofing in ColorCote® Scoria red.

A perfect fit for this year's In:Situ theme, Manaakitanga, caring for the people and places around us.

Come check it out on our stand, Level 5, Stand B19, or visit the link below to read the case study.

At In:Situ this week?

Swing by Level 5, Stand B19 and meet the ColorCote crew!

This year's In:Situ theme, Manaakitanga, is about caring for the people and places around us. It's a theme reflected in the projects featured on our stand.

From the resilience of Brass Monkey Hut, to the environmental leadership of Te Pae in Christchurch, and the thoughtful, low-impact design of Foxton Beach eHaus, each project shows a different response to place, purpose and performance.

Three very different projects. One shared commitment to creating places that endure.

See you at stand B19!

Colour that belongs here, colour that lasts.

A considered architectural choice, made to sit quietly in the landscape while enduring alpine winds, snow, and sun -season after season.

Scoria on Brass Monkey Hut is more than a finish; it’s a commitment to longevity in the backcountry.
