Flat Bush Is Auckland’s Newest Housing, With Institutional Sites Alongside
Flat Bush has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Auckland, and our work here reflects both sides of that: newer homes, and the schools, campuses and multi-block facilities built to serve them.
The commercial side is heavily compliance-driven, recurring emergency light testing and emergency light replacement across multiple blocks, fluorescent tube and timer replacement, time switch changes, fire alarm power fault finding, protecting lift cables, checking wires above steel purlins across a whole site, and light checks. Residential work runs to hot water fault finding, rewires, replacing light fittings and hanging lights, garden lighting, data outlets and power point installation.
Because much of the housing stock is recent, the work skews towards alterations, additions and finishing things properly rather than rewiring old wiring, and towards provisioning for EV charging and solar on homes built before either was standard. We’re a few minutes away at 179c Harris Road, East Tamaki.
