Cordis Hotel

Passive Fire Protection & Safety Compliance at New Zealand’s Largest Hotel

Contractor: Hawkins

The Cordis Hotel (formerly The Langham) in Auckland is a world-class hotel with a laser-focus on quality. For its extensive refurbishment, Passive Fire NZ was engaged as the passive fire protection partner to implement fire-stopping solutions across 244 new rooms and suites. With this expansion, ensuring fire safety compliance was a top priority for both the hotel owners and contractor, Hawkins.

Fire-stopping in a live hotel environment presents numerous challenges and while this was a clean, succinct fire protection solution, theadded complexity of working in and around a live hotel meant our team had to collaborate on all levels to ensure speedy work and minimal guest disruption.

Team-work flowed, challenges were resolved quickly, and a shared commitment to quality kept us aligned on both process and fire-protection compliance. Not only was the work to the highest standard, but the experience on-site was too.
