Ronayne Construction comes from a long tradition of constructing educational buildings.

The increase in school building which took place immediately after the Second World War was a mainstay for the early Ronayne companies. Today, rather than being driven by absolute growth, school building is a feature of change, with much of new school construction more commonly being driven by changes in teaching methods rather than increasing rolls.

Ronayne Construction has the capacity to construct new general teaching facilities or the detailed requirements of modern science and technology curricula. Increasingly the nature of work in educational institutions involves extensions and alterations against a tight time frame to fit into annual teaching programmes. Ronayne Construction highly developed project management skills makes us ideally suited to meeting the strict time and physical constraints present in this environment.

Ronayne Construction have successfully completed a number of different hydroelectric and energy plant projects throughout the Central North Island of New Zealand.

Hydroelectric projects have included large concrete structures and significant water management on substantial rivers. Energy plant projects successfully completed by Ronayne Construction have principally been part of large industrial plants supplying heat and steam for industrial processes. Hydroelectric and energy plant projects are distinguished by their scale and overcoming the technical and operational problems inherent in that scale. Hydroelectric projects frequently require the physical and environmental management of existing waterways carrying large volumes of water.

These projects are frequently required within strict time constraints driven by customers high operational revenues. Similarly energy plant projects frequently have to operate within tight time consuming legislative constraints which puts pressure on time and requires strict project management control.

Ronayne Construction's experience and successful track record in hydroelectric and energy plant projects makes us well qualified to carry out this type of work. Ronayne Construction’s excellent health and safety record and the high level of project management skill that we bring to projects add value to all hydroelectric and energy plant projects in which we participate.

 
 

Industrial plant construction has long been a fundamental product for Ronayne companies.

Ronayne Construction has experience in the construction of a variety of industrial plants for both New Zealand and international companies. Specialist skills in the field of industrial plant construction include an understanding of industrial process operations, construction of complex foundations, construction of wide span structures and management of complex project interfaces.

Industrial plant construction is carried out by Ronayne Construction on what ever contractual arrangements suit the customer. Ronayne Construction's preferred contractual format for most projects is design and build. These arrangements maximise the customer's ability to review design options and provide better cost control than other more traditional arrangements while building the high levels of understanding that are critical to success on these sort of projects.

Ronayne Construction has found from experience that the key to the successful completion of industrial plant construction projects is proper management of the various packages involved. This proper management can only be achieved through a good understanding of the processes involved in the project by all participants and the development of shared ownership and responsibility in the total project team.

 
 

Ronayne companies has constructed office buildings for a variety of customers since the 1940's and Ronayne Construction continue this practice today.

 
 

At present technology and new business practices are driving significant change to customers requirements of office buildings. The traditional multilevel office buildings to accommodate the structured administration of large public and private organisations is giving way to the requirements of flatter organisations which require less space. The office buildings of today tend to be of more specific design, to address the needs of specific customer operations. The interiors have become more important than the exteriors.

Ronayne Construction provides office buildings for customers on a variety of different formats. The increase in customer specific requirements in office buildings is increasing specialisation among designers who are customer specific rather than market segment specific. In this environment Ronayne Construction is increasingly constructing office buildings designed by the customer's designers, rather than on a design and build basis.

 
 

As the usage life cycle for commercial buildings shortens, Ronayne Construction is increasingly undertaking refurbishment works.

These refurbishment works are essentially of two types, the repair and renovation of buildings who's fabric has become worn and the retrofitting and reimaging of buildings where their appearance and function must change to suit new requirements. The repair and renovation of buildings often has a structural element which generally includes fitting out to new operational requirements. Often in cases where the fabric of existing buildings requires repair the building will be extended using conventional construction techniques.

Ronayne Construction’s comprehensive experience and range of skills makes us ideally suited to these types of refurbishment works. The retrofitting and reimaging of existing buildings has become an area of specialisation for Ronayne Construction who has successfully completed this type of work in numerous banks, services stations, hospitals, schools and other buildings. Ronayne Construction's technical and management skills are particularly suited to this highly detailed work which is normally carried out within the customers operating premises and within tight time constraints.

The nature of shopping and retail premises has changed significantly over recent years, retailing is increasingly to do with service and less to do simply with the supply goods.

 
 

Ronayne Construction recognised this change in retail and shopping focus at an early stage and have successfully changed their approach to the construction of shopping and retail premises to focus on customer requirements rather than simply providing building envelops. Increasing changes in retail practices have driven a trend of refurbishment and reimaging in retail businesses, a trend particularly prevalent among banks and larger retailers.
