Supporting Wairoa’s Recovery: Cohasset Group’s Leadership in Rebuild and Repair Projects
In the aftermath of the recent devastating flood events in Wairoa, The Cohasset Group was appointed as the project manager for several critical residential repair and rebuild projects. Recognising the urgency and importance of restoring homes and livelihoods, our team brought a comprehensive and disciplined approach to every aspect of the recovery effort.
Comprehensive Project Management
Our scope of work extended beyond traditional project management. We assumed responsibility for the direct supervision of a wide range of trades, ensuring that all construction, repair, and specialist services were delivered to the highest standards of workmanship.
Cohasset provided full quantity surveying services, offering precise cost control, budgeting oversight, and financial reporting to maintain transparency and accountability throughout each project.
Compliance certification was another key pillar of our role, ensuring that all work adhered to the stringent standards required by local council regulations. By working closely with the Wairoa District Council, we ensured all necessary approvals were secured efficiently, helping to avoid project delays and mitigate compliance risks.
Clear Communication and Progress Reporting
Keeping all stakeholders fully informed was a priority. The Cohasset Group delivered regular progress reports and certification of progress claims, maintaining clear and open lines of communication with homeowners, insurers, and other involved parties.
This structured reporting not only kept everyone updated on milestones and financials but also fostered trust, ensuring that expectations were managed and that projects stayed on track.
Partnering with Nisco Plumbing
As part of the recovery initiative, we engaged Nisco Plumbing, a trusted partner known for their expertise in large-scale plumbing and drainage projects. Nisco was contracted to provide extensive plumbing and drainage services, ensuring that critical infrastructure within affected homes was not just repaired, but also upgraded where necessary to better withstand future weather events.
Their professionalism and efficiency contributed significantly to the success of the rebuild efforts, allowing residents to return to safe and fully functional homes with confidence.
Looking Ahead
The Cohasset Group is proud to have played a role in Wairoa’s recovery journey. Our commitment to quality, transparency, and community collaboration continues to drive every project we undertake. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the homeowners, insurers, council members, and tradespeople who worked alongside us to bring these homes back to life.
We look forward to continuing to serve the Wairoa community — and communities across New Zealand — with trusted expertise in project management, construction oversight, and disaster recovery.
