Pacific Islands / Fiji / Technical planning
What buyers, architects, builders and resort project teams should check before selecting imported architectural, recreation or building products.
This is a procurement and technical-information checklist, not structural engineering advice or certification of any system for a Fiji site. Applicable Fiji codes and project requirements must be confirmed by the appointed local professionals.

The appointed Fiji design professional must establish the site's applicable wind design basis and exposure, including terrain, topography, building importance, connections, supports, foundations and any local approval requirements. Do not use generic catalogue wind ratings as proof of project suitability.
Request documented substrate alloys, finish preparation, coating specification, fastener grade, isolation between dissimilar metals, drain paths, cleaning recommendations and replacement hardware. Distance from the coast alone does not determine corrosivity.
Check gutter capacity, roof runoff path, downpipes, overflow, water discharge, local slab falls, ground drainage and water entry at building interfaces. Movable and retractable roofs may have operating limits during severe weather.
Apollo supplies agreed products and available manufacturer documents. Local measured surveys, groundworks, anchorage, electrical connections, construction, permits, inspection and final compliance remain with the appointed Fiji team.
Consider access for servicing motors, tracks and drainage; stock of suitable consumables and spare parts; secure delivery storage and the ability to replace components without specialist overseas lifting equipment.
Ask for the selected model's drawings, manufacturing specifications, relevant test reports, materials and finish data, packing list, warranty schedule and applicable operating instructions. Confirm whether project-specific engineering can be provided, and at whose cost.
System-by-system checklist
Confirm dimensions, bay and post layout, support conditions, anchors, drainage, motors and coating evidence.
Open Fiji product guide →Check larger spans, mounting details, chosen rotating/retracting mechanism, wind evidence and structural interfaces.
Open Fiji product guide →Specify opening measurements, guide systems, fabric, operating limits, fixings and motor/electrical interface.
Open Fiji product guide →Define exposure by project zone; coordinate guest spaces, pool chemicals, public safety, maintenance and staged procurement.
Open Fiji product guide →Verify use, substrate, slopes, drainage, wet slip performance, UV resistance and actual system evidence.
Open Fiji product guide →Provide plans, clear spans, foundation interface, corrosion specification and site-specific structural criteria.
Open Fiji product guide →Project handover
Island, exact location, distance and exposure to salt spray, site photographs, existing plans and any consultant wind criteria.
Selected category, dimensions, quantity, intended users, operating requirements, colours and accessories.
Specify the appointed Fiji engineer, support conditions, foundation responsibility, drawings required and local permit or sign-off pathway.
Receiving port or depot, final-site access, lifting limits, storage, local installer and long-term servicing strategy.
Helpful independent checks
The local design team should verify the current Fiji building regulations, applicable wind-loading standards, coastal durability requirements and project-specific permit requirements. Relevant manufacturer reports should be checked for the exact model, configuration and site conditions—not assumed to apply to every product.
For import procedures, consult the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service. Local professional engineering and authority advice takes precedence over a general buying guide.
Apollo can review supply feasibility and request available manufacturer documentation. Apollo does not provide local construction or certify a system for a site without the necessary project-specific evidence and appointed professionals.
