Roof Replacement at St Paul’s College in Auckland
The roof replacement project at the L'Hermitage building presented unique challenges that demanded specialized knowledge and careful planning. Originally scheduled for a 5-6 week timeframe, the comprehensive re-roofing was completed in just 4 weeks—from initial scaffold erection to final dismantling.
Max Style Ltd served as the primary contractor for a significant re-roofing project at the L’Hermitage Building of St Paul’s College. This complex undertaking involved a complete overhaul of the aging concrete tile roof on the three-story educational facility, demonstrating Max Style’s expertise in handling challenging roof replacement projects.
