A bit of everything on this Mt Victoria new build!

We've been working alongside Planit Construction Ltd on this residential project, with our team involved in the structural steel, balustrading and some of the finer finishing details.

One of the final pieces is an infill balustrade, which we've been working through with Studio Pacific to come up with an efficient solution that fits neatly with the rest of the home's design.

It's always satisfying to see a project come together, especially when we've had a hand in the structural work and the smaller details that finish it off.

Great to get those last pieces installed. Nice work, team! Look out for a bit more about this project soon!

A few more finishing touches at PT Blink’s Technology Centre in Wellington that you may have seen recently in their channels.

Our team was brought in to complete elements including the balustrade that transitions to a double-height screen and some of those last-minute additions that tend to come with getting a space ready for opening.

It was a good mix of fabrication, fitting and problem-solving on site, which is the kind of work we always enjoy getting stuck into.

Great to see everything coming together and to have played a part in another interesting Wellington project. We look forward to a lot more development in this PT Blink space so watch this space!

Alright Wellington, we need your help with this one!

The team have put in a huge year, so we're starting to plan a Christmas do to get everyone out of the workshop and enjoy some well-earned time together.

Now we just need to figure out what we're actually doing.

We're keen to hear about your favourite local spots, activities and businesses that could help us put on a good day for the crew. Bonus points for something a little different!

Tag your recommendations below and help us get planning. We're all ears.

There’s a bit more to this staircase than meets the eye!

We recently fabricated and installed this staircase as part of the Beca fitout, and along the way got the chance to put our laser welder to work on something very different.

For the first time in New Zealand laser welding has been used in a structural-purpose equivalent to fillet welding. All working alongside our 3rd party inspectors and HERA to get this across the line.

It’s a pretty good example of what happens when new technology can deliver a result not considered possible before. The end result might be a staircase, but getting there meant working through how we could use the equipment differently, prove the process and get the finish and structural performance the job required.

A great one for the team to get across the line, from fabrication in the workshop through to installation on site. LT McGuinness knew this was going to be a tricky one, but having worked with us on complex projects before, they trusted us to work through the challenges and deliver it to the standard required.

More to come on the laser welding side of this one, because there’s plenty worth talking about. Thanks to Makers of Architecture, Weld I.T. WAM, Nick Scannell and the crew at LT McGuiness, but particularly the engineers at Beca who created a once in a career balustrade. Stand back Richard, Pat, Sean, Christian, Rashaan, Ron, Ruben and marvel at what you created.

Got a metalwork idea but don't know where to start? That's what Design & Build is for.

Whether you're starting from scratch, have a rough idea sketched out, or need help nailing down the design - we work alongside you through 3D CAD detailing, samples, mock-ups and prototypes, so the end result is exactly what you were picturing. If it needs a structural engineer to take a look at it - we can sort that too! It's all part of the turnkey service

Large commercial project or a one-off personal job - same attitude either way: bring us the idea, we'll help you build it. Not a problem.

Meet Boston, our 4th year light fabrication apprentice.

A couple of weeks back, we shared this curved metal set piece we made for a theatre production, including the challenge of getting it packed down into oversized luggage for a flight. Now it's time to give the person behind it a bit of the spotlight.

Boston first joined us through the Gateway programme, coming into the workshop once a week for work experience. We liked what we saw, offered him an apprenticeship, and he's been part of the team ever since.

He took on this tricky job all on his own, working through the bending, fitting and figuring out to make sure everything could be packed down, transported and reassembled above the stage.

It's been pretty rewarding to see how far he's come and watch him put everything he's learned into practice. Outside of work time, you might see Boston carving up a motocross track. Don't challenge him to a race, he's a weapon!

Nice work, Boston!

This one really put our "not a problem" catch phrase to the test.

The brief was for a curved metal set piece for a theatre production, with one extra requirement worked into the job: it had to be able to pack down and travel in oversize luggage on a plane.

That meant working through the curves, sections and connections in the workshop so everything could be transported, reassembled and do its job once it reached the stage.

This is another project in the books within our entertainment and theatre sector that we really enjoy the variety and design challenges that these job pose!

A fair bit of bending, fitting and figuring out later, and the finished metalwork was up above the set doing exactly what it was made for.

Probably one of the more interesting things we’ve helped send through airport baggage lately.

Boston looked after this one from house lights down till encore and certainly took it on to see it was exactly right and ready for the show to go on!

Another roof flashing job through the workshop, with every sheet passing through Ken’s hands and eyes along the way. Just another one through the folding department!

He’s the legend behind the folds and sheet metal, keeping things moving and making sure each piece is ready to go. This is the sort of work you’ll appreciate when the Wellington rain and wind turns up. With 5 guys in the folding department and over 70 years worth of folding experience, there isn't much we haven't done!

So bring in your sketches on a bit of Gib, or our snazzy sketch pads and we can get them made for you in no time at all!

Thanks for the great work on this one, Ken!
