Prime Build

was carefully designed by the team at Conrad Gargett with simplicity, function and fun in mind. The Charter Hall developed; 6 Star Green Star building inspired us to follow suit and design our own Green Star rated fit out on Level 7.

Features which our own team delivered include polished concrete floors, open plan kitchen, spacious focused work areas and hot desk/collaboration zone, along with careful integration of the base build finishes to reduce waste. The front entry feature consists of sustainably sourced Victorian Ash timber battens and the cantilevered reception counter constructed using concrete with 20% ‘recycled plastic bags’ for aggregate!

Finally a carefully designed IT and AV system has been implemented, using the latest in MS TEAMS enabled equipment to make our users experience as seamless as possible.

• Removal of all existing Office Furniture and Joinery
• Removal of all Existing Carpet / Floor Finishes.
• Electrical and Communications works were required to merge new office space with existing office space. (Biggest scope of the project)
• Construction of new lightweight Partitions / low Height Walls inclusive of painting works.
• New Office Joinery – Plan Benches, Fixed Tables, Seats, Shelving and Feature Cladding.
• New Floor Finishes (Both Carpet and Vinyl).
• Coordination of Office Furniture delivery and installation.
• Detailed Final Cleaning – Inclusive of Existing External Windows which required specialised abseiling Subcontractors.

Live Environment

Works on the Ground floor office were done in a live environment, with any electrical shutdowns, noisy works, dusty works or works which could interrupt or interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Ground Floor tenancy completed from midnight to 8:00 am so that the tenant would not be impacted. On completion of the night works Prime Build engaged a cleaner to clean any mutual access areas shared by the Ground Floor tenant. Any works which didn’t generate noise or dust were completed during the day.

Additionally, access to the busy Jones Bay Wharf was restricted requiring sign offs from security and no materials were allowed to be stored on site. As a workaround, Prime Build aimed to have any deliveries to site arrive before or after business hours when the wharf was least busy. Prime Build also worked with wharf security to arrange designated parking for all staff and subcontractors, which can be hard to find in any CBD.

Handover

The fitout was completed within two weeks, with the team working around the clock to ensure the project was completed on time and to the highest possible standard.

The project involved dividing the current space into four unique stages to maintain a live environment throughout the programme duration. Works included new wall and floor finishes, construction of new rooms such as a unisex bathroom, washroom, prayer room and multiple new glass partitioned meeting rooms.

Prime Build successfully created a modernised working environment to accommodate over 150 Officeworks team members.
