Following the 2012 Earthquake the City of Christchurch was committed to gain back an important part of their cultural and entertainment landscape. FDG is proud to be involved in the rebuild of Christchurch and in particular a space which is so important to the community. CPB Contractors contacted FDG with a significant supply issue. Their problem was that no one stocked what they required here in New Zealand. FDG took on this challenge and was able to import the specific structural bolts required, avoiding any delays to the construction programme without exceeding budgeted costs.
