Transbuild Commercial partnered with a Northland Developer to deliver a two storey commercial building development in Dargaville. The project included duplex and terrace typologies, manufactured off-site and installed using a highly coordinated cranage and installation process, enabling efficient delivery while meeting programme, budget, and quality requirements.

Project Outcome

Off-Site Manufacturing Approach
This project demonstrated how off-site manufacturing can support more complex, multi-level housing developments. By completing all modules undercover at Transbuild’s Drury facility, the team reduced weather risk, improved quality control, and maintained programme certainty throughout the build phase.
Installation and Delivery Outcome
Once on site, the coordinated delivery and cranage process enabled rapid installation, with an average site completion timeframe of approximately seven working days. This approach supported a smooth handover and delivered a scalable solution well suited to future development stages.
“This project showcases Transbuild’s ability to deliver complex, two-storey off-site housing efficiently and at scale.”
A proven two-storey off-site solution for developers seeking speed, certainty, and quality.
