One of the rear “tail fins” of the Nautilus apartments in Orewa has disappeared under plastic wrap.
After gaining building consent in late December, Legacy Construction recently began work on repairing the Nautilus apartments in Orewa.The $25 million project of repairing and recladding the leaky building is expected to take around two years.
Three hoists are being used to transport material, rubbish and scaffolding up and down from the podium, and further up the tower.
The first stage, now underway, involves demolition work including removal of tiles and planters, decking membrane and glass balustrades. Replacement of cladding and external joinery will follow.
Plastic “shrink wrap” has been put up to protect the building interiors from the weather and enable construction work to continue in difficult weather conditions.
The work is being completed in four stages, with only the current stage wrapped at any one time.
