Shortlist Selected to Repair Residential Properties in Canterbury Region
Ian Simpson, chief executive of the Earthquake Commission, has announced that the Commission has shortlisted two organisations out of 14 parties approached to project manage the repair of residential properties damaged during the Canterbury earthquake.
The organisations shortlisted are Fletcher Construction and a consortium consisting of BECA, Arrow International and OPUS International Consultants.
"They are well known in New Zealand, understand the Canterbury region and have a strong track record in project delivery," says Mr Simpson.
EQC is now working through the details to finalise who will be appointed to co-ordinate the repair work.
"It is anticipated that negotiations will conclude by the October 15 and we are planning for the first repairs to start as soon as possible after that," he says.
"This is a significant step toward reinstating homes in the Canterbury region."
The shortlist was selected from a competitive tender process of New Zealand and multi-national companies.
