Gisborne Hiabs crew installed a full roof skeleton on to a two-storey house in Grey Street yesterday.
Gisborne Hiabs owner-operator Justin Martin said raising the whole roof at once was a cost-effective and safe way of doing it.
The project required an 'immense amount' of planning.
'It took a lot
of planning between the building company (ABC Construction), the scaffolding and the roofing crowd and us. It was a 14-point lift, so it meant getting all the rigging to work together and not overload other points.
The timber trusses weighed in at 3.6 tonnes. It went really well in the end. It's just much safer because you haven't got guys in there all the time.'
