Design-Build for Building Remediation: Lessons from the MESH Hospital Recladding

Building remediation projects involve uncertainty that drawings alone can't resolve. Hampton Jones' recladding of the Manukau Health Park Elective Surgical Hospital (MESH) won Building Consultancy Team of the Year at the 2026 RICS New Zealand Awards. The project shows how early collaboration between building surveyors, designers, contractors and specialist consultants can produce practical, durable and buildable solutions.
