HPM was engaged to provide full project management from concept and design to construction, liaising with all stakeholders throughout the process. The office was redesigned and updated, necessitating the temporary relocation of staff off-site, making the programme critical.

Due to the nature of the client's work, their staff still had equipment stored on-site that needed to be accessed during construction.

As it had been a nightclub in the past it had a large internal void where customers could look down from the 2nd floor to the dancefloor below. The building required a change of use which involved the void being filled in to convert the 2nd floor into high end architectural apartments. HPM managed this process along with the construction, which included reconfiguring the downstairs restaurant and adding a courtyard which in collaboration with Heritage New Zealand complimented the old original...
