Marae may also wish to explore alternative build options, such as prefabricated ablution blocks
and buildings from suppliers like Advance Build. These options can be more cost-effective,
quicker to deliver, and less disruptive. I will send through additional information from Advance
Build for your consideration.
It may be useful to obtain a comparative cost from Advance Build for an ablution block and
wharekai (noting that a wharehui building may not be suitable) and compare this with the $5
million QS estimate 9(2)(a)
has already received.
In the meantime, we remain hopeful ahead of the Oranga Marae decision meeting.

You don't often get email from 9(2)(a)
. Learn why this is important
Good Afternoon 9(2)(a)
Thank you for your call this morning, and interest in Advance Build.
Our off-site manufacturing approach offers key advantages for commercial projects,
such as ablution blocks, clubrooms or facility rooms and spaces for Maraes.
·
Customised Designs: Our design team can customise floor plan designs to
provide you with high-quality buildings that meet your specific needs,
ensuring you get the perfect fit.
·
Faster Build time: Our streamlined process allows for a faster build time
compared to traditional on-site construction, with a build time in the factory
of just 8 weeks. This means you can have your new project completed much
sooner, minimising downtime and maximising occupancy. We are also able
to offer a guaranteed timeframe for our projects.
·
Cost Certainty & Project management: We understand the importance of
budget management, and our approach provides cost-certainty, helping
you avoid unexpected expenses that can arise with on-site builds. We can
offer fixed-cost pricing, and we are also able to manage all aspects of the
project, including design, resource and building consent, construction,
delivery and site connections. There's no need to engage an architect and
pay consent fees for plans etc, as our pricing includes all that scope of
work.
We recently completed an Ablution Block for the Ahipara Top 10 Holiday park - here's
some images of this project to give you an idea of the type of result that can be
achieved: https://advancebuild.co.nz/projectgallery/ahipara-holiday-park-building/
We also completed a program room, and ablution block for the Hope House
Rehabilitation centre recently - see the following video showcasing their project:
https://youtu.be/K 4Buvjpodw
You are welcome to come and visit our Offices, Factory and Display Home at 2077
SH 10, Waipapa, or anyone from the Marae that might be interested. Just let me know
and I can schedule in a time for you to meet with our team. At the moment, there are
no Ablution Blocks under construction, however I would highly recommend visiting
Document 3
one of our Display Homes as these provide a great example of the quality of our
homes.
When you are interested in progressing to get a quote for the project, we would firstly
book a meeting with yourself and our team where we unpack your specific needs so
we can tailor a customised floor plan and complimentary price proposal to meet your
requirements. This would also include a free site visit by one of our representatives to
get a comprehensive understanding of the project service requirements.
Let me know if you have any questions or require any further information.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards

Once again, congratulations to 9(2)(ba)(i)
on your successful Oranga Marae – Te Paepae
grant application 9(2)(ba)(i)
).
As discussed on the phone, this is the first funding round since the Oranga Marae reset, and we
have some concerns that the process for some marae is becoming consultant driven. We
encourage marae to lead the process themselves—being clear about what is needed and
ensuring that any design and build is reasonable, affordable, and fit for purpose.
You may also wish to consider alternative build options, such as prefabricated ablution blocks
from suppliers like Advance Build. These can be more cost-effective and help minimise
construction disruption. I will send through additional information from Advance Build for you to
review. I am aware, however, that given your location and isolation, this option may not be
suitable.

As discussed on the phone, I understand that 9(2)(ba)(i)
is close to submitting an
application to Oranga Marae – Te Whare Marae for capital works funding for the ablution block.
You also noted that an earlier QS report indicated a significant estimated cost for the build.
As you move into project costing, you may wish to consider alternative build options, such as
prefabricated ablution blocks from suppliers like Advance Build. These can be more cost-
effective and help reduce construction disruption. I will send through additional information
from Advance Build for you to review.
