Chatham Primary School, VIC
Prime Build were engaged by the VSBA following an extensive value engineering period which saw our team work collaboratively with the team at William Boags Architects to meet the tight budget for this Primary School transformation project.
A complex project respectfully transforming the 100-year-old building into a state-of-the-art Learning Centre with a totally redeveloped administration area and creating more space for play within the school’s beautiful grounds.
Works required extensive structural alterations with 20 tonnes of structural steel installed inside the existing building. New amenities block, teaching spaces, services and external façade upgrades, lift installation and landscaping works has called for careful integration with the school timetable to ensure the learning experience is not impacted, safety is not compromised and ensuring the project is completed within the tight timeframes.
The collaborative nature of the Prime Build Project Team and Site Manager, the Superintendent, the VSBA Project Officer and the School Principal sees the group work tirelessly together to achieve a great outcome for the Students, Teachers and Staff.
Whilst this project has thrown many challenges to the Project Team, financially due to the post COVID inflationary conditions and operationally due to the demands of the busy Live Environment, it is shaping up to be an amazing success.
