The Ilam Homestead was constructed in 1929 and was structurally damaged and earthquake prone following the February 2011 seismic event.

Inovo was engaged to provide project management and planning services for the major refurbishment and structural strengthening project, which retained the historic features of the homestead, requiring Historic Places Trust involvement and the engagement of heritage planners. 

The refurbishment of the Homestead, incorporating function rooms, bar areas, reception and accommodation, won a silver medal at the 2014 New Zealand Commercial Construction Awards in the Restoration category.
