Who: Mitre 10 Prestons Road
Where: Christchurch, New Zealand
Background:
The project was a full new-store build with a significant footprint, requiring coordinated delivery across multiple trades within tight timeframes. Stackit supported the project with the supply and installation of racking systems across key areas of the store, including drive‑through, retail, and storage zones.
Challenge:
- Delivering and installing racking within a tight construction programme
- Coordinating across a large site with multiple trades and stakeholders
- Ensuring efficient storage and access for a wide range of products
- Creating a safe and user-friendly environment for both staff and customers
- Maximising usable space within a high-volume retail footprint
Solution:
Stackit provided a complete racking solution across the site, including cantilever racking and pallet racking. We supplied and installed the drive-through and garden centre racking, and also installed the retail box racking supplied separately by the client. By managing both the engineering and installation, Stackit ensured the racking was delivered in line with the overall build programme and integrated smoothly alongside other trades on site. The design was tailored to suit the operational needs of the store, including drive-through access, customer flow, and efficient product storage.
“I would 100% recommend Stackit for any future builds that anybody has on project. From start to finish, they were great.” – CJ Kiesanowski, Mitre 10 Prestons
