The Highbury Triangle project is a community-focused initiative aimed at enhancing the well-being of older residents. Located in Avondale town centre, it features 236 apartments across five buildings, offering affordable, accessible housing that supports health, social connection, and safety for senior tenants.

How Moddex helped project execution

Moddex played a key role in the project by supplying and installing Conectabal Commercial Balustrades and Assistrail Disability Handrails across four buildings. These additions were vital to meeting safety standards and ensuring a successful build.

Nick Ward, Site Manager at CMP Construction, praised the project’s smooth delivery, noting the absence of major issues and Moddex’s commitment to high-quality, safety-first solutions. Their products met strict compliance requirements, including NZS4121 and NZBC F4 (Safety from Falling). Additionally, Moddex supported the build with essential PS1 documentation and BPIR details, helping maintain momentum and ensuring regulatory confidence.

Key partnership benefits

Ward highlighted Moddex’s reliability in meeting deadlines: “What stood out most about Moddex was ‘hitting dates.’ They have top installers and good management. I always like it when I don’t have to babysit contractors.”

Moddex’s experience and prefabricated systems offered practical solutions to every challenge — ensuring compliance without compromising on quality. Their end-to-end approach, from early consultation to final install, added efficiency and value throughout the project. This proactive strategy helped avoid late-stage compliance issues and potential cost blowouts.
