IRD Building, Christchurch

Key drivers for the South Island were relocation of all Christchurch staff into one building, plus future flexibility of internal space to readily adapt to business change. Accordingly, the decision was made to proceed with a 14,000 sqm office development to accommodate IRD staff. Aotea completed the electrical shell and fit-out contract, installed a Cat6 structured cabling system complete with fibre tubing for future fibre optic cabling and a C-Bus lighting control system.
