Project Scope

The facility is designed to support rapid, on-site repair of technical equipment and military vehicles, ensuring the NZDF's logistical readiness. Leighs Construction selected Crafted Up to deliver the base-build plasterboard lining.

We mounted thousands of square metres of 10 mm and 13 mm boards on full-height walls and bespoke feature reveals, then applied a Level 4 flush finish for uniformity. We applied sealant to every plasterboard layer and screw head, exceeding NCC Volume Two wet-area requirements and NZDF's seal-tight mandates. All work was executed alongside other trades, coordinating handovers to maintain the overall build programme.

Project Objectives

  • Install 10 mm and 13 mm plasterboard on full-height walls and feature reveals
  • Apply Level 4 flush finish throughout for uniformity
  • Exceed NCC and NZDF sealant compliance on every board layer and screw head
  • Coordinate with trades to maintain the overall build programme
