Case Study
During the course of construction, the building was continuously occupied by Westpac Banking Corporation being a long serving tenant to the Developer.
The project was procured using a Fixed Lump Sum method and timely procurement of materials and plant were critical for progressive hand-over of each floor to the existing tenant. This required continuous coordination with many stakeholders, including the Developer, tenant representatives, Developer's design team, tenant's consultants and the Head Contractor.
The project involved the completion of the following:
- Integrated fitout of office areas,
- Refurbishment of Male and Female Bathroom at office areas,
- Upgrade of base building services including associated works to the plant room,
- Alterations to the lift lobbies including the installation of three new passenger lifts,
- Pressure cleaning to the façade panels and waterproofing works to the roof slab, and
- Associated structural, waterproofing to wet areas, and other works.
The tenant had rights of quiet enjoyment. Thus suitable noise suppression was used for work during normal business hours. Any work involving substantial noise, vibration and dust affecting the tenant were undertaken outside normal working hours.
Furthermore, the continued provision of the base building services to the occupied floors was required for the tenant during construction. This included coordinated transition of the IT servers at hand-over of each floor to mitigate shutdown periods.
