Prime Build

The Beauty area spanning ~1900m2 has been reimagined with new fittings and finishes to complement the recently refurbished upper levels. This new design included the complete overhaul of the Bourke Street façade, incorporating an intricate design in stone and bronze window reveals.

The project was completed in two stages, thoughtfully synchronized with the construction timeline and operational needs of the store.

Minimal disruption to store activities presented many challenges including access to the site limited to before 7AM or after 7PM on busy Bourke Street, requiring high levels of coordination between day and night crews.

A key aspect of the project was the preservation of existing heritage elements and the Project Team successfully executed a solution enabling works to continue whilst a heritage issue was resolved.

A final challenge was the new addition of feature cladding to the existing escalators that could not be executed during trading hours. Full height scaffolding encasing the escalators was erected each night and removed before trade resumed each day.

Prime Build successfully delivered a high-quality project, in the time required, without any safety issues, always avoiding the loss of trading time, all of which was paramount to the Client.

The project was considered a major refurbishment which included significant structural and services alterations along with a complete overhaul of all finishes throughout the selling floor.

A major challenge involved the presence of asbestos in the adhesive beneath the vinyl flooring, necessitating its safe removal prior to installing new finishes. Meticulous planning allowed for nightly containment of each stage of HAZMAT removal operations, ensuring air quality monitoring and clearance certificates were issued every morning, thereby allowing the store to reopen daily without disrupting commerce.

In addition, the existing stores island Deli was required to be demolished and a new Deli, Bakery and Fish preparation and service area constructed with set down for refrigeration and food preparation grade floor and walls.

The successful store transformation included new design elements from the Coles Design Kit and was completed on time and budget with only one defect listed on the target completion date.

Coles renewed format includes a range of innovative features such as an enhanced deli and seafood areas, refreshing juice bar and expanded fresh produce section.

Part of the project team’s brief was the relocation of the meat department to make way for the new Click and Collect section and supporting car park works to provide quick and convenient shopping accessibility for customers.

Extensive improvement works to the Bakery section led the project team to set up a temporary Bakery so not to disrupt the availability of this popular customer purchase.
