Successes:

Wayne Zeng, Director of Chancellor Construction, was very honoured and proud of the project team after winning the Winstone Wallboards Residential Project Award at the 2022 Commercial Project Awards.

“I think this build was a real stand-out in the competition for a variety of reasons, mainly the unique design, the speed at which we delivered the project, and that we stayed within the budget. “For me personally, the aesthetic look and feel of the town houses was a real highlight of the build,” says Wayne. 

Challenges

For Wayne and the team at Chancellor Construction this build was no easy task and the crew faced a few challenges along the way.
 
“The design of the build was very complex and detailed, particularly the procurement of the imported terracotta tiles (cladding material) and installations. Regardless, the team did a stellar job of the build and to have this industry-wide recognition is great for our project team,” says Wayne.

Judges comments:

This project was part two of the successful Kotuitui residential development. The vision for both developments exceeded expectations for creating something special within the community. 

Rather than a “cookie-cutter” approach, Chancellor Construction took a “first mover” approach and created a unique aesthetic. This included durable ceramic roof tiles that doubled as wall cladding, double-height dormers, and framed windows to give a welcoming look to the building.
