Currie Commercial Award.png

In May 2022, Currie Construction were awarded a gold award for our work restoring, freshening and strengthening a local industrial building along the Gisborne river front. Originally a local petrol station, this local historic building was transformed into an architectural local real estate office space. Our team had the pleasure of working alongside Architects 44, Clark Structural Engineering, iD Workshop, Morley Design Group Ltd and Tectonix Structural Engineering to bring this "Rag to Riches" build to life.

 

The aim of the build was to balance the rich textural elements of the original building that contrasted with new materials to create the new space. The building juxtaposes open and closed, light and dark and public and private spaces. When you walk into the building you are immediately welcomed by a warm reception area, a sun-lit large auction room and appealing public spaces that all capture the essence of the building.

​

This was an exceptional build to be a part of and are extremely proud of our team and project partners for what we achieved together..

Currie Construction are the proud winners of the Civil Contractors Category 3, award in November 2024. 

 

​In 2021, Currie Construction was awarded the prestigious Mahunga Stream Floodgate Construction contract, marking a pivotal moment for the community. For years, the region had endured relentless flooding, with homes and properties frequently caught in the path of destruction. This contract was not just another project—it was a beacon of hope for many who had long suffered from the damaging effects of uncontrolled floodwaters.

 

The floodgate construction was part of a larger, ambitious 10-year programme that had begun in 2019. The initiative, spearheaded by the Waipaoa River Flood Control Scheme, aimed to significantly bolster flood protection in the region. Designed to handle events with up to a 100-year return period, the project promised to safeguard the community for generations to come.

 

Residents eagerly watched as Currie Construction got to work, understanding the immense impact this project would have. For them, this was more than just a technical achievement—it was the key to protecting their homes, their families, and their future. With each passing day, the dream of a safer, more secure community grew closer to reality.
