The structural steel arrived on site on 4th June. Manufacturers John Jones Steel, based in Christchurch, have sent a team to Wanaka to erect the structural steel floor and shell, which they expect to complete within 20 days. The following photos show progress during the first 4 days of construction.
The driver says it took 2 full days for a specialised team to load the truck!! Only 3 hours to unload, luckily.
