INTERNATIONAL WORK
Vietnam & New Zealand:
Over the past few years I have been working with TLC modular. TLC modular are construction company specialising in modular builds. TLC head office and fabrication facility are based in the south of Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City and Vung Tau respectively). TLC are working closely with the NZ government and associated departments to assist with the housing shortages NZ is currently experiencing. At this time all projects related to housing are in design, planning and negotiations.
The Role:
My ongoing services to TLC are in design, compliance and approvals. What this means is I take concept designs which I complete the detail design on in accordance with building codes and then arrage the necessary approvals. This work involves dealing with all consultants, drawing teams and local government.
The project:
In 2019 we completed the first full modular build hotel in New Zealand. My involvement in this project took me to the office and workshop in Vietnam where I oversaw documentation and was actively involved in the fabrication process. From Vietnam to Christchurch New Zealand where I worked through the approval process and assisted the project management team on site. It was a unique amd thrilling experience to be part of a team concieving and delivering this project, now trading as the "Arden Hotel" Christchurch.
Next:
We are crrently in the design and approval stage of our next hotel for the Arden Group to be located beach front in Napier New Zealand. This project is now ready for development anpproval and has undergone stringent design assesment and being preprared for building approval. Our intent is to have all the approvals in place by the time this Covid 19 interuption is behind us.
