Hutt Road

Hutt Road is a compact, high-performing social housing development that demonstrates the value of fully integrated, end-to-end delivery. Delivered in Manurewa, Auckland, the project combines design, consenting, infrastructure, and construction capability to create a well-resolved urban housing solution.

Through a coordinated approach spanning concept to completion, the development reflects a commitment to quality, efficiency, and delivering better housing outcomes within complex urban conditions.

Homestar 6 certified

Designed to meet recognised sustainability benchmarks, supporting improved energy performance and occupant wellbeing.

Acoustic & passive fire performance

Structural systems were coordinated to integrate acoustic separation and passive fire requirements, supporting both compliance and occupant comfort.

Urban infrastructure integration

Delivery required coordination of significant civil works including retaining walls, earthworks, watermain diversions, and new public stormwater and wastewater systems.

Compact site delivery

The development of 21 apartments on a constrained urban site required efficient planning, sequencing, and coordination across trades and disciplines.

Hybrid structural system

A hybrid timber and structural steel system was implemented to meet structural, acoustic, and passive fire requirements.

Civil infrastructure delivery

Extensive civil works enabled long-term resilience and integration with public infrastructure networks.

End-to-end project delivery

Home Construction led the project from development and concept design through consenting (RC, EPA, BC) to construction, CCC, and final compliance (223 & 224c), demonstrating full lifecycle capability.

Early contractor involvement (ECI)

ECI input during the design phase enabled better coordination, buildability, and integration of structural and services systems.

Value engineering & cost control

Ongoing value engineering and cost estimation ensured the project remained financially viable while maintaining quality and performance outcomes.

Accessible & inclusive design

Provision of accessible ground-floor units supports a wider range of resident needs.

Shared outdoor environment

Approximately 525m² of landscaped space, including Joint Outdoor Amenity Living (JOAL), permeable paving, and communal areas, supports interaction and livability.

Active transport support

Dedicated bike storage encourages sustainable transport options for residents.
