The Rototuna Library in Hamilton is a modern, community-focused facility designed to provide residents with access to information, technology, and resources in a welcoming space. Summit Survey Ltd played a pivotal role in the successful delivery of this project by offering comprehensive surveying services to support planning, construction, and post-construction phases. The project required precise surveying to ensure the library’s integration into the surrounding community hub and compliance with local regulations.
