CASE STUDY

Northland Toyota Workshop

SmartSteel Buildings delivered a modern 5-bay commercial workshop for Northland Toyota, designed to support a high-volume automotive operation. The facility incorporates vehicle preparation bays, hoist-ready service areas, and a layout optimised for efficient workflow and professional presentation.

As part of the building envelope, KOROK® supplied high-performance external wall solutions to meet the demanding requirements of durability, safety, and acoustic control typical of busy automotive environments.

KOROK® Contribution

KOROK® provided 108m² of KOROK® 78mm Colour Panel, installed as part of the KOROK® External Wall System.

The KOROK® External Wall System is a non-loadbearing vertical wall solution engineered for commercial and industrial applications. It combines:

  • A zinc-coated COLORSTEEL® outer shell for durability and weather protection
  • A high-density (400 kg/m³) aerated concrete core for fire resistance and acoustic insulation

This all-in-one system delivers fire rating, acoustic performance, and weather-tightness within a single assembly. The system uses 78mm interlocking panels installed vertically to create a continuous protective barrier, limiting acoustic leakage while maintaining fire integrity.

Outcome

The integration of the KOROK® External Wall System ensured that the Northland Toyota workshop achieved:

  • High fire safety standards for commercial compliance
  • Improved acoustic performance, supporting a more controlled working environment
  • Durability suited to demanding industrial use
  • Efficient construction timelines, aligning with Smart Steel’s delivery goals
  • Modern, professional aesthetics

This project demonstrates how KOROK® contributes to high-performance building outcomes by supporting safer work environments, efficient project delivery, and long-term durability and reliability, working alongside SmartSteel Buildings to deliver a facility that reflects the operational excellence and brand strength of Northland Toyota.
