Project Size: 15 000m²
Project Value: NZ$62 Million
Location: Rarotonga, Cook Islands
During 2006, Peddle Thorp & Montgomery Ltd was commissioned as Architect by a New Zealand joint venture client to design and complete the resort in Rarotonga that work had been suspended in 1994. Peddle Thorp & Montgomery Ltd had completed some earlier work in 2004.
Peddle Thorp & Montgomery Ltd worked for the following 2 years with Hilton Technical Services and a large multi-disciplinary design team to survey, investigate and design the works to complete the Resort. The PTM team projected extensive detailed design documentation for tendering the construction purposes. This was achieved against a tight time frame and budget constraints and having to resource a large part of the work from New Zealand. A project cost of some $62 million was arrived at to complete the 22 acre site with 15,000m2 of building area on it. PTM acted as Principal Consultant to the joint venture client.
The construction work start was deferred in early 2008 due to economic conditions and has not recommenced yet.
