Home designs into home realities

If you are already working with an architect, our Mass Construction Nz Limited Residential building team is more than happy to start construction, but if you need help, our design and build services will save you time and money. We can engage one of our architects to work with you to bring your vision to life from scratch. If you are dreaming about a new home but are not sure exactly what you would like built, our design and build service brings with it fresh ideas and inspirational house plans, and there are loads of options to choose from. So, talk to us first, and we’ll get your design process started the right way. Whichever design and build option you choose, we can be involved from the start, making the building process smoother and more efficient. Our building experience will ensure the designs and specifications meet your requirements and budget, as well as all New Zealand building codes.

An end to end process

Specialising in the architectural design and build of new homes across Auckland’s North Shore, we provide a complete design, costing, build and project management solution from start to finish. We’ll work with you from conceptualisation through to the champagne on move in day. Our projects are all about you. We design and build your architectural new home to suit your lifestyle, your site and your budget.

Design alternatives

Consider alternative designs. The design and build process provides you with a bit of flexibility when it comes to construction methods and materials. Our architectural team will identify important design considerations and our building team can then price those alternatives. The process is about offering advice and providing ideas, and it’s about you having plenty of opportunity to provide input and feedback throughout. An architectural design and build approach means you are aware of the cost implications of each design decision. Once the scope of the project is finalised, we can clearly define and control the total costs of the project, and keep you informed. Builders and architects working together are much better able to create more accurate cost breakdowns early in the project, before significant emotional and financial investment is made. And that means you and the project team all arrive at the final working costs together.

One point of control

Get one point of contact throughout the entire project. The design and build approach utilises a single contact for all architectural, engineering and construction responsibilities. There is a single point for project quality, costing and timelines. That’s better for you because you do not have the hassle and responsibility of trying to coordinate the architects, builders, engineers, tradies, councils, consultants and project managers. Financial risk is also reduced because one organisation is responsible for the overall success of the project.

The following AVI illustrates the fundamentals of Injection Moulding. The video clearly shows the four main functions of an injection moulding machine: clamping, injection, cooling and finally ejection – of course there are several vital functions happening during these main functions so much so that all modern machines have an on-board  computer.

A mould is bolted into the CLAMPING section of the machine. The machine closes the mould, then applies a large force to “Lock” the mould closed. Inside the closed mould is a cavity that is the exact shape of the plastic part.

The INJECTION section of the machine has a hopper to hold plastic pellets; a barrel with heater bands to liquefy the plastic pellets; a feed screw to move the pellets forward in the barrel; a check valve to force the liquid plastic into the mould and a nozzle to seal the injection section to the mould. The liquefied plastic is forced into the cavity of the mould with high pressure.

Once the liquid plastic has been injected into the mould the machine goes into the COOLING phase. The liquid plastic must cool enough to turn solid so it takes on the shape of the cavity and stays that way. While the cooling takes place, the screw will rotate, bringing in more pellets for the next part.

When the part is ready to be removed from the mould, the clamp will open and the part will be removed from one half of the mould. Then the part will be EJECTED from the other half of the mould and a new cycle will start.

Precast

Precast is typical of where our versatility, innovation and experience can reduce construction time (and therefore cost) and soften environmental impact, saving our clients’ money and treading more lightly on our planet. We can provide standard precast components or custom design for a unique solution for whatever is required; bridge beams, suspended flooring, wall panels and pre-stressed piles – up to the largest of infrastructure projects.

You’ll find our precast work at the Vector Wero Whitewater Park, on the Cambridge By-Pass and the Tauranga Eastern Link. We’ve got heavy haulage covered too, our fleet of tractor units, trailers, jinker trucks, refrigerated units and pilot vehicles can move mountains, or haul large loads, as and when needed. We’ve got heavy haulage covered too, HEB transport and Heavy Haulage, are specialists in the movement of Cranes, Large bridge Beams, precast concrete, drilling and piling equipment and earth moving machines. We are fully equipped to move every piece of machinery and equipment used by Mass construction Nz Limited on all its Projects.

Roads, Rail & Bridges

We help connect people, improve mobility and make business easier. Our award-winning road and bridge construction capabilities include upgrading urban roads, vital rail links, and Roads of National Significance.

Mass construction Nz Limited has strengthened NZ’s East Coast main trunk line, replacing vital spans.  We’ve been part of the construction on many integral roading projects, including the Ahaura Bridge, and the Huntly Bypass.

Now with our clients, iwi and partners, we’re working on tomorrow’s infrastructure. Te Ahu a Turanga, the Manawhatū/Tararua Highway is a project with great social outcomes – it is reconnecting communities and includes different modes of transport carefully constructed over a sensitive wetland area.

We’ve also recently completed the Ruakanakana Pass (Tunnel 21), between Kaikoura and Blenheim, which goes under SH1. All up it’s a great example of how collaborative partnerships can lead to outstanding environmental outcomes.

Ports & Marine

Large marine engineering projects is an area where our world-class workforce excels. We collaborate with clients providing inspiration and developing innovative solutions, with an eye firmly fixed on our clients’ needs for tomorrow.

Ports, wharves, marinas, berth extensions, and ferry terminals – Mass construction Nz Limited works with partners across multiple disciplines and together we create world class infrastructure.

We’ve done this on the Waitangi Wharf project, the Downtown Ferry Terminal and many other marine projects.

Now we’re in partnership with Napier Port, building a new wharf that will allow the port to handle substantially more and larger cruise and container ships – whilst protecting our taonga in the marina.
