Safe & Compliant Tenancy Solutions.

Dividing a commercial property into multiple tenancies requires careful planning, compliance, and skilled construction. At Swanee Construction, we work with Christchurch property owners to create safe, functional, and fully compliant spaces for multiple tenants. Whether you need separate titles or simply want to maximise rental potential by dividing your building, our team handles the building work and compliance requirements from start to finish.

1

Initial Consultation & Planning

Owners must give written notice to the council before changing a building's use

Design & Compliance Review

Working with engineers and planners, we assess council requirements, fire safety, access, and seismic considerations. This ensures your project aligns with Christchurch building regulations before construction begins.

Consent & Approvals

A change in use can trigger the need to upgrade safety features, accessibility, and other aspects of the building to meet the requirements of the new use.

Construction & Fit out

Our licensed team carries out the building work — firewalls, access points, services separation, and interior fit outs — to create safe, functional, and fully compliant tenant spaces.
