CLIENT:  New Zealand Couriers

LOCATION:  Hamilton

This turn-key design build project for New Zealand Couriers has created a purpose built central logistics hub in Hamilton to meet the unique requirements of Freightways' five individual express package businesses. The facility consists of a 3,250m² package sorting and storage area, a 925m² drive through canopy and 800m² of office and amenities. The SPANTECH building clear span technology has eliminated the need for vertical posts in the vast sorting area and provides clear access for the 600 vehicle movements each day.

The building has been designed to accommodate business growth with a movable wall that allows the flexibility to increase sorting space by 330m². The office component of the facility underwent a complex design phase to incorporate all of the client's various operational requirements and includes a high spec fit-out and an intricate telecommunications and computer hub.  Joint venture partner Perry Developments General Manager, Tony McLauchlan, describes the Freightways' building as a truly unique commercial facility. Freightways’ requirements presented a real planning challenge for our team and the end result in a one-of-a-kind commercial building.

About the
Professional

We are a nationwide Design and Build company with specialist knowledge and experience across verticals as diverse as cold storage, dairy, wine, food and beverage processing, commercial and retail spaces, and recreation and leisure.

Whatever the project, our focus is simple - listen to our client and deliver absolute trust and certainty from the start.

At Apollo, we've never been afraid to challenge the status quo.

When Craig Waghorn and Paul Lloyd started Apollo in 2001, they were determined to break away from the traditional management process and do things differently. They saw an opportunity to partner with clients from the very start, taking their ideas right from concept all the way through to completion – something that was poorly executed in the industry!

Today, Apollo is a leading New Zealand design and construction company with over 40 professional project delivery and support staff across the country. We regularly work with major national companies including Fonterra, Goodman Fielder, George Weston Foods, Ngai Tahu and Lion Co., as well as private owner-operated businesses, sports organisations and Government/Council entities.

Even though Apollo has grown over eighteen years, we’ve never lost our core value that a ‘client’s trust is everything’. Apollo is different simply because we operate as a partner with our clients – our goal from the very beginning has always been to build strong relationships from which we can deliver successful projects.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
