Recently showcased on Campbell Live Waimahia is certainly getting exposure in light of the housing affordability crisis and the, then, upcoming election, reiterating Candor3’s support for the hand up, not hand out philosophy underpinning what is being done. It is good to see the results of what they do being appreciated by first home owners excited about where they are headed with their home and Condor3 congratulate them on their new home and hope that they will be very happy at Waimahia.

Waimahia is a tremendous development and Condor3 are immensely proud of their part in delivering it to market. It is a new housing model that they endorse fully and it is nice that the article highlighted the timeframes in which it has been delivered. The work of those who deliver such projects often goes unnoticed and to deliver something of this scale to the programme set down a year ago required commitment and hard work from the clients, Council and the full team of consultants and contractors involved.

Delivery under pressure is where Candor3 excels. It requires speed, accuracy and a huge commitment in terms of hours by the staff involved, however, seeing the smiles on the faces in the photo reminded them of the end game and why they do what they do – it is engineering for life. Candor3 also extend their thanks to their visionary clients, the National Government, Council and the wider team because it has truly been a team effort. The HASHA legislation started the ball rolling and Council’s Project Housing Office have picked it up and run with it cutting through the red tape and proving that you can mix speed and quality in an environment where the parties act respectfully and responsibly in working to a common goal. Candor3 say it has been a pleasure dealing with the Project Housing Office team on this project.

Candor3 would also like to thank the client, consultancy and construction team – too many to mention individually and they say it has truly been a pleasure and to see the article highlighting what they have all achieved is a satisfying milestone. The outcome really showcases what can be done and to have completed houses on site nine months after they started construction is a magnificent achievement. A lot of lessons have been learnt that can hopefully be carried forward to other projects.
