Environment Canterbury Seeks Design and Build Contractor for Kainga Depot Expansion

Canterbury Regional Council, trading as Environment Canterbury (Ecan) is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to carry out a design and build development project at our existing Kainga Depot site (1330 Main North Road, Christchurch). The ECan Kainga Depot has been servicing, supporting and benefiting the surrounding area for decades.

Due to ongoing organisational expansion, ECan need to undertake development work at the Depot in order to provide better and additional working spaces to meet the current demand and future demand for this site.

We are looking to remove some of the existing buildings to create new office accommodation to house 70 staff with an open plan office concept with additional break out space and at least 2 meeting rooms (one to house at least 20 pax.). In addition, will require a staff room, showers and drying area for the wet weather clothing and gumboots, and lockers for this equipment.

We need lockers in the office space and a mixture of desking and collaboration spaces where people can opt to sit, rather than one person per each desk option. In addition to the office space we require additional garaging space, which could ideally be attached to the office.
