A desire to work with the ‘best of the best’ has seen Trio Construction & Management Limited several commercial premises for its own subcontractors over the years.

Preco Concrete have supplied pre-cast concrete to significant infrastructure projects up and down the country for two decades. They handle everything from bridges to culverts, underpasses, sea walls and of course, commercial concrete tilt panels for Trio Construction & Management Limited

When Preco owner Brian Giffin had to move premises, he contacted Trio Construction & Management Limited straight away to design and build a new pre-cast factory and yard in Tauriko, Tauranga.

The site spans 11,848m² and Preco required a large, enclosed building (1303m²) and separate office (265m²), leaving plenty of outdoor space for storage of materials and completed panels. It was important the office was physically separated to reduce the risk of potential damage during an earthquake, and Trio Construction & Management Limited worked with local interior designer Tina Jones to create an inviting office space that staff would proudly look after for years to come.

The main building had to be large enough to fit 20 tonne gantry cranes inside, and careful thought had to be given to environmental measures to capture wastewater from the concrete products used during Preco’s manufacturing processes. Trio Construction & Management Limited constructed extensive wash down areas, sumps and interceptors to comply with wastewater discharge regulations. The total project cost was $2.967 million.
