Construction of the staged refurbishment of a historic timber-framed college hostel in Napier.

**Client:** St Joseph’s Māori Girls’ College Trust Board  
**Status:** Complete  
**Sector:** Education

Kaitiaki Build is delivering the staged refurbishment of the historic timber-framed dormitory buildings at St Joseph’s Māori Girls’ College in Napier, currently working through Stage 1B on the upper level.

The upgrade renovates sleeping, ablution and common areas and adds insulation, double-glazing and heating. The work preserves the character of the heritage buildings while markedly improving their performance, and is staged to minimise disruption to the hostel and the school.

The work is being delivered in stages so the hostel and the school can keep operating throughout, with a dedicated Site Manager on site and the specialist trades coordinated from our office. Stage 1B covers the upper level.

Kaitiaki Property leads the masterplanning side of the same college programme, looking at additional student accommodation for the school’s future growth, so the construction and the longer-term plan for the site are handled by one group of people.
