The completion date for repairs to Orewa’s Nautilus apartments has been pushed out again due to the Covid-19 shutdown.
Work began on repairing the leaky building at the end of 2016 and was expected to take two years.
Currently work on the level four podium is nearly complete and replacement of the roof is the focus.
This was initially due to be completed in February, then pushed out until May.
Prendos NZ is project managing the work. Its director Philip O’Sullivan, says the lockdown delayed completion of the roof replacement by four months, until September.
The roof is the last of the external works – there is some internal refurbishment on the top floor that cannot be finished until the roof is fully weathertight.
Auckland Council ratepayers paid $25 million of the costs by order of the High Court.
