Projects
St. Thomas of Canterbury College Sports Hall
Apollo Projects were engaged with St Thomas's for the design and build of a new 2124m² sports hall on the college site in Christchurch. The facility met all the requirements for the school and the client has continued to engage with Apollo on other school projects.

High Performance Sport NZ - The Apollo Projects Centre
Apollo Projects was engaged to design and build the new 2,300m2 High Performance Sport NZ training facility located next to the Jellie Park Pool Complex in Christchurch. As specialists in the controlled environment area, Apollo were thrilled to be selected for the project by New Zealand’s elite sporting organisation.

Christchurch City Council
Apollo Projects was successfully appointed by Christchurch City Council (CCC), to facilitate the Design and Build of the new Norman Kirk Memorial Pool in Lyttelton, after the original facility was destroyed in the Canterbury earthquakes.

What our clients are saying
This project has been completed in about a third of the time it normally takes to design, plan and build a major police station. It’s been an outstanding effort from everyone involved. This is a very different environment from the premises we’ve occupied in the past. It’s modern, spacious and high-tech – and having so many of our staff on one site is encouraging us all to work more collaboratively.
I am delighted to say that Apollo rose to the challenge and delivered a turnkey solution on time and within budget. They pulled out all the stops.
The professionalism that Apollo have shown throughout the Edendale Redline upgrade is to be commended. Their attention to detail ensured that the quality of workmanship from all trade staff involved met the food safety standards required as well as stepwise innovative improvement which met Fonterra’s strategy to be “The World’s most trusted source of dairy nutrition.” This project had a challenging time constraint window which Apollo managed extremely well, and now the site has one of the best redlines in the country.
The design team Apollo assembled was first rate and contributed significantly to what has proven to be a first class facility. Apollo’s performance in managing this design process was also to a very high standard. Apollo certainly excels in the incorporation of buildability and construction input into the design process. This ensured that the majority of the design issues were clarified prior to the construction phase on site.
In all our dealings with Apollo they always acted with the upmost integrity and professionalism. From taking the project brief to consultation with all key stakeholders within our organisation Apollo certainly played a significant role in ensuring that the project was a complete success from every angle.
Apollo Projects were the most outstanding company to deal with. From the initial discussion to the completion of the project they were amazingly professional, very open, transparent and honest and prepared to go the extra yard to make sure all parties were fully informed. Not only that, we were finished a month early and under budget…
