Commercial >> Burton Construction - Riding Arena for the Disabled
Rotorua equestrian arena comes in under budget • From page 8 operations centre, the facility offers a lot of convenience for these groups. Andrew says once complete, the project came in under the projected budgeted price Burton Construction and Maintenance presented about three years ago. He says Burton Construction and Maintenance is a down-to-earth company that doesn’t play the contracting game, ‘which can almost require you to be a lawyer’. “We try to do things simply and make things work, and hopefully we make a small profit at the end of the project,” he says. Andrew is supported in the business by his two sons Robert and Jeff, who have over the past couple of years started to take over the company’s construction management, and a team of about 20 builders. Burton Construction and Maintenance has been working in Rotorua for more than 25 years. Over that time it has completed projects at nearly every school in the Rotorua area, and has gained a group of large and loyal clients who often call on the firm to help with expanding and upgrading their facilities.

Going great lengths to deliver tailor made solutions Wide Span Sheds recently completed a custom design and build project that has made a difference to the lives of about 85 children in the Rotorua District, and will continue to do so for many more years and many more children. Wide Span Sheds designed and built an Olympic-sized covered equestrian arena for Rotorua Riding for the Disabled (RDA). Rotorua RDA provides therapeutic horse riding session for 85 local children, helping them to live with a range of conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, down syndrome, hearing and visual impairments, muscular dystrophy, and spinal cord injuries, just to name a few.

Previously leasing a property next to Rotorua Airport, runway extensions saw planes flying low over the area and frightening both children and horses. With no indoor arena, the children would miss out on sessions during bad weather. The kids now have a brand new, all-weather facility to continue with their sessions rain or shine. Burton Construction and Maintenance was the main contractor for the project and completed the build of the administration facility attached to the arena. Wide Span Sheds drew on its specialty experience in designing and building rural and industrial sheds, providing site specific engineering to custom design a premium quality covered riding arena. Wide Span Sheds is a national company with
many branches and agents throughout New Zealand. The company has the capacity to design and supply steel sheds throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty throughout the Waikato branch and can also supply and design to meet clients requirements nationwide. “Over the years we have worked with a variety of clients and steel building applications,” says Wide Span Sheds Waikato store manager Kris Robinson. “The Wide Span Sheds we have built for our clientele include equestrian facilities of course, but also warehousing facilities, mariner storage units, car storage yards, recycling plants, commercial farming facilities, engineering workshops, multi-level buildings, habitable sheds, as well as lifestyle block barns and outbuildings.” The Waikato team specialises in rural and industrial sheds, and with dairy farming the main agricultural activity in the region, the team goes to great lengths to deliver tailored dairy and rural solutions. Wide Span Sheds Waikato sells a lot of large sheds and workshops, and can also assist with residential clients. The Wide Span Sheds portal frame design enables designs from single bay garages through to multi-bay layouts. Wide Span Sheds also creates a tailor made service package suited to each client, with services offered from supply of a steel kit building all the way through to erection.
