Dawn Park

Client: TeAtatu Revival Limited

Location: Te Atatū South, Auckland

The Dawn Park Apartments consist of 82 boutique units distributed across 11 distinct buildings, combining concrete, structural steel, and timber construction. The development stands out for its high-quality materials, both for the external envelope and internal fitout, complemented by stylish architectural design.

 

AULFON assumed responsibility for this complex project in January 2024. At the time, the buildings were in varying stages of completion, with no units ready for internal lining. Many challenges awaited, including unresolved resource and building consents, unapproved design variations, and difficulties securing continuity warranties, guarantees, and code compliance documentation for work completed by previous contractors. Clarifying the scope of work and calculating the remaining trade costs added further complexity.

 

Progress was hampered by design flaws, substandard workmanship requiring redesign and remediation, and lengthy council approval processes, all of which delayed programming and prevented the finalisation of the completion budget until well into the project.

 

Nevertheless, AULFON’s management and site team have successfully navigated these challenges. The aim remains to deliver the project to a high standard, while staying within budget.
