HOW A DESIGN
BUILD APPROACH
SAVES YOU TIME
AND MONEY
Project delivery company Wiley
knows from experience that the
best outcomes for creating or
reinventing a great food facility
are achieved through a design
build approach. This model
puts Wiley in the best position
to provide the right advice early,
potentially saving you time and
money down the track.
Traditionally, food facilities
are designed, tendered and
built. Wiley have a better way
of execution where we take a
design build approach.
To deliver a great facility, you
need to integrate a great food
process engineering team into
the design and development
process. This is what makes
Wiley unique. Wiley’s approach
is complemented with strong
in-house business advisory
services, process engineering
and delivery capabilities to
deliver great food facilities.
The company’s preference
is to adopt the design build
approach and complement
that with its food process
engineering capability. This
delivers superior results in
terms of project cost, speed
and quality with less risk for our
clients.
If a business favours a
traditional design and tender
approach, Wiley is highly
proficient at delivering projects
using the traditional approach,
where the design and delivery
phases are separate.
With national coverage, an
office in Dunedin and global
expertise at their fingertips,
Wiley is ready to bring your
project to life and into the
future.
BIG HORTICULTURAL PACKHOUSE,
COOL STORE OPERATION FOR SALE
The land, substantial industrial
buildings, and business sustaining
one of the biggest privatelyowned
horticultural packing and
distribution centres in the Western
Bay of Plenty have been placed on
the market for sale.
The complex at Trig Road in Waihi
features more than 2,000 square
metres of operations plant sitting
on 6,818 square metres of land
- housing the operations of long
running kiwifruit support company
Waimata Horticulture.
Within the Waimata Horticulture
complex is a 1,220square metre
fully refrigerated cool store, a 930
square metre packhouse, 350
square metres of storage sheds,
and a small office administration
block. The 400,000-tray capacity
cool store has current certification
for Zespri kiwifruit packing.
Now the freehold land, all buildings
and plant, and going concern
business at 11 Trig Road are being
marketed for sale for $2.5 million
by Bayleys Auckland and Bayleys
Tauranga. Salespeople Mark
Morphy and Phil Mangos said the
Waihi property and business for
sale would attract a broad buyer
dynamic.
“Potential buyers have the option
of continuing the business in
its current format as purely a
business investment,” Mr Morphy
says.
“Alternatively, there is the potential
of separating out the cool store
and packhouse activities, then
leasing out of the cool store and
packhouse to individual tenants in
the horticultural production sector,
or leasing out both the cool store
and packhouse to one single
tenant and selling the business
activities to a tenant.
“Then from a rural production
perspective, a potential new
owner could combine the
plant into their existing kiwifruit
growing operation. Under that
continued current use format,
the infrastructure would enable
a grower to elevate themselves
up the primary produce chain by
operating their own supply channel
rather than having to contract out
their crop handling.”
The Trig Road property is located
just off State Highway 2 some
two kilometres south of Waihi.
The high-stud 930 square metre
packhouse has a large canopy at
the rear – enabling full accessibility
for B-train trucks to sustain
maximum loading efficiency.
Mr Morphy says the business’s
equipment and machinery
inventory was included in the
sale chattels list, and included
conveyor belt fruit selection
equipment, graders, bins,
forklifts tractors and commercial
refrigeration units.
He says that with the size and
scale of the Bay of Plenty’s
kiwifruit production nucleus, Te
Puke, expanding considerably
since the PSA outbreak of 2010
and the sector’s subsequent
recovery, crop tonnage support
services had consequently grown
considerably too.
