Quality and Value with every Project
Features of Te Kete Aronui (Rototuna Library) and the wider village include:
Mana whenua, who were involved in the design of the library and the wider Rototuna Village, ensuring the history and stories of the area were reflected throughout, conducted two separate blessings of the area. One for the library building and one for the public realm area.
The village is now well-connected to the rest of Hamilton through safe roading, public transport options and shared pathways for pedestrians, people on bikes and public transport.
In my view, libraries are taonga (treasures) for our community. This was part of council’s commitment to create a vibrant heart for the growing north-east Hamilton community, that is a great place to live, work, play, and visit.
This library and the surrounding Rototuna Village are a great example of community-led placemaking. Feedback from the local community and mana whenua have strongly influenced its design, clearly ensuring it was fit for purpose.
An urban village at the centre of community life that:
Neuflow Projects were contracted as the Project Managers for the Rototuna Village, the project was large, complex and multi-faceted with vertical and horizontal construction underway through separate contracts.
Neuflow Projects took a partnership approach with the main contractors and the client (Hamilton City Council) representatives, this was the correct fit for the project and helped to drive the desired outcome. We spearheaded a large-scale value engineering exercise and using our construction and parks expertise we managed to reduce the overall contract spend by over $1M, whilst still achieving the project outcomes.
