KSJ CONSTRUCTION IS NO STRANGER TO UNDERTAKING CHALLENGING PROJECTS which made the company an obvious choice for the concrete works on the Ellen Melville Centre and Freyberg Square upgrade to transform the space into a vibrant community hub. KSJ Construction specializes in large concrete frame construction, formwork systems and carpentry. KSJ director Vincent Chan says that this particular project was unusually challenging due to the high quality finishes required which necessitated a different methodology from the norm along with meticulous engineering and attention to detail. “The concrete required to this landmark project is the highest quality F6 finish with steps, walls, terraces and water-features all at irregular geometrical shapes resulting in an insitu concrete architectural sculpture rather than just a concrete structure,” he explains. KSJ is working closely with consultant Ross Bannan to ensure the quality of the product and the final architectural finish of the concrete. Work was started in November and the project is earmarked for completion in May 2017. Vincent says the success of the project demonstrates the company’s aptitude for undertaking challenging work on time and on budget. “We are committed to maintaining the highest quality standards delivering the best
products to meet the demand of our clients. On every project we strive to ensure that it is completed to the required standards while striving to give our clients the best possible value for money,” he says. KSJ originated as a contractor to the Auckland construction industry over 28 years ago. The company was started by Vincent’s father John. Vincent took over as company director several years ago leading the family business into the future. KSJ services include concrete structures, concrete foundations, pre-cast concrete placement, on-site precast concrete solutions, civil engineering works, AFS Logicwall installation and project management. Vincent says that KSJ has grown significantly in recent years and with an expanded management team and the workforce’s technical expertise it has undertaken and successfully completed a number of high value, technically challenging and prestigious projects in and around Auckland including buildings for Spark, GE, BNZ and Watercare and the Northwest Shopping Centre at Westgate. People are key to the company’s success, says Vincent. KSJ employs a team of between 20-30 staff. “We truly believe that our employees and sub-contractor are critical
to our success and we work closely with our teams to ensure true understanding of the importance and value of client-focused attitudes, encouraging lateral thinking and behaviour that strives to exceed our clients expectations,” explains Vincent. He says that employees and sub-contractors are selected that conform to the values-based culture of KSJ. Employee and sub-contractor satisfaction within KSJ is reflected in the high proportion of long-standing employees and sub-contractors, some of whom have worked for the company since its beginning. At present KSJ Construction is working on a number of projects including Rose Garden Apartments. Currently under construction, this major residential development in the heart of Albany will eventually comprise 800 apartments. Other apartment projects KSJ is working on include Hereford Residences and Swiss-Belsuites Hotel.
“Our mission at KSJ is to achieve success through integrity, commitment and hard work, providing added value to our clients to ensure excellent client satisfaction every time.”
