Stratford Primary School Main Contract Works – Relocation of Wharenui & Demolition Block F RFT

Overview The Ministry of Education (NZ) is seeking a main contractor for works at Stratford Primary School involving the relocation of the Wharenui and demolition of Block F. About Block F at Stratford Primary School was identified with weathertightness issues in 2016 and was originally scoped for remediation under the Taranaki Cluster, but the work had to be paused due to insufficient funding being available. The remediation of Block F was revisited in 2023, with a preliminary design completed in May of that year. The extensive nature of the required remediation, due to the modulock construction and the lack of cost advantages, meant the scope was revised, with classroom replacement being recommended instead. Scope The new scope agreed in 2025 includes: Demolition of 3TS and Wharenui (1TS) in Block F Refurbishment, relocation, and conversion of Classroom 20 (K2 reference Classroom 1) into new Wharenui (1TS) General siteworks, infrastructure, and sandpit relocation
