Next phase for Five Mile underway • from page 18 These included up to 70 Naylor Love carpenters plus tradespeople split between about 30 other sub-trades. It was a huge logistical operation and we’re really proud of the efforts of everyone involved to get it over the line.” The sheer scale of the project has put considerable pressure on local resources and manpower, he says. “Queenstown is not really geared up for such a large-scale development, as it can be quite difficult to get materials and people here. “We have also been competing for resources with the Canterbury rebuild, so had to work hard to procure enough manpower, as well as precast concrete and structural steel to keep up with the build programme.” Jason says “significant civil works” have been another feature of Five Mile. One of the first jobs for the civil team was filling in two-thirds of ‘Hendo’s Hole’. The 2.4-hectare hole was dug in 2006 in anticipation of a two-level carpark for Christchurch developer Dave Henderson’s Five Mile township project, which was abandoned when his company was placed in receivership. “The civil works have also included general groundworks, carparking for 800 cars above ground and 250 underground, roading and infrastructure, and the realignment of a new roundabout on State Highway 6,” he says. Naylor Love engaged five precast suppliers and two structural steel sub contractors to supply the project, with tradespeople engaged from throughout the South Island.

Five Mile has brought a lot of outside investment into the Queenstown region which is great for the local economy and tradespeople.
An interesting mix of long run metal roofing and cladding products from Calder Stewart Roofing are being incorporated into the high-profile Five Mile project by CS Roofing Queenstown Ltd, trading as Calder Stewart Roofingsmiths Queenstown.
contracts and residential roofing, to reroofing. “Our team prides itself on producing quality workmanship, with the installers who work on the architectural Eurotray profiles seeing themselves as craftsmen rather than simply roofers.”
These include Hi5 long run roofing, and several stylish wall-cladding products such as Eurotray Angle Seam, Eurotray Lite, and Eurotray Hook Seam panels.
The locally owned and operated company recognises the importance of having a skilled workforce, and places a lot of emphasis on supporting its staff to obtain qualifications such as the National Certificate in Roofing, or to become Licensed Building Practitioners.
A custom metal negative joint fascia panel system is an another feature adding to the upmarket, quality aesthetic at the development, says Keith Ivey, managing director of CS Roofing Queenstown Ltd.
The norm used to corrugate roofing, until we brought the European style of roofing to NZ which revolutionalised the roofing industry. It was like going from steak and cheese pies to brie and cranberry ciabatta. Not that there’s anything wrong with steak and cheese pies. The lads love ‘em! The first time this fancy new Euro-Tray popped up was on the Milford Sound Visitor’s Centre in the 1990s. Even the keas thought it was bright’n shiny. The architect wanted to do something different and knew Calder Stewart would be keen so we jumped on a plane to Germany, sourced a tray machine and bought it back. Schnell!(that’s German for two shakes of a lamb’s tail).
We than began importing European roofers to train our guys on high-end tray installations. The French blokes would say the roofing was “Trays Bien”. See? We even picked up a bit of the lingo. Next thing you know, we’re putting this new style roofing on builds like Te Papa Museum in Wellington, Craggy Range Winery in Marlborough, The IMAX Theatre in Auckland The Sky City Casino in Auckland. You might have heard of a couple of these places. All this high-end experience means when it comes to your own roof and money, stick to the original tried, true and experienced - not a cheap limitation.
“We are proud to be associated with Naylor Love Construction on this prestigious project, and to be able to utilise such a large range of quality Calder Stewart Roofing materials. Five Mile is set to become without doubt a major feature of the Frankton Flats landscape, given its size, and the fact this is the first of two stages of the development.” The works at Five Mile are being “capably supervised” by the company’s project manager Jeremy Harrison, says Keith. “Jeremy leads our highly trained and qualified project management and installation team of close to 20 personnel, some who have more than 30 years of experience in the roofing industry.” Projects of this scale are nothing new to Calder Stewart Roofingsmiths Queenstown, which is involved in all roofing work from commercial
“Health and safety is another major component of our work, with our staff continually obtaining and renewing certification such as Site Safe, First Aid, Working at Heights and Elevated Work Platforms.” Keith says CS Roofing prides itself on establishing solid working relationships with key clients such as Naylor Love. “We value our longstanding relationship with Naylor Love, who are well organized, and a great contractor to work for. Our Invercargill based branch, CS Roofing Southland spent several months last year working with Naylor Love on continuing upgrade works at the Invercargill prison.” With an extensive range of top quality roofing and wall cladding products, and a highly experience team, Calder Stewart Roofingsmiths are the company to call for your next commercial or residential roofing project.
