Greenlane, Auckland.

Alexandra Park Apartments (Building A) is one of many developments around Auckland, and when completed they will rank amongst the citys most vibrant and stylish multi-story apartments. Overlooking the Alexandra racecourse, the apartments will also have a range of retail shops, cafes and restaurants in the main hub.

Project Requirements

To improve the acoustic properties within the apartments (reduction of footfall noise). An underlayment was required for use with bonded engineered timber floors. Before timber flooring and underlayment could be installed, the apartment slab surfaces had to be levelled to meet project requirements.

Challenges

As this was a large project, timing and quick installation was essential so that the apartments could be finished in time for tenants moving in. A reliable supplier of materials was needed to reduce the chance of product delays.
