InvoCare engaged Prime Build to complete a new flagship funeral home for Le Pine & White Lady Funerals in Kew, VIC.
The old existing funeral parlour was completely demolished to make way for the new development which features high ceilings in the chapel and the reflection rooms with a stunning open space court yard with a magical custom built water fountain.
Prime Build were engaged to deliver a new intricate and detailed glazing façade for the RUSU Real Foods café designed by Maddison Architects.
This exciting project was highly architectural with unique glazing panels and a “honeycomb” structure, testing the capabilities of what could be achievable in such a short time frame.
The façade was constructed within a live tertiary environment with many stakeholders occupying the surrounding offices and businesses.The new façade also included high quality timber joinery wrapped around the inside of the glazing to accommodate for the cafés peak periods.
The project was delivered in full collaboration with RMIT’s direct contractors and suppliers.
Prime Build were engaged to refurbish the Coles New Town store over an intensive 13 week programme to give this Tasmanian town a fresh, new-look supermarket.
As the principle contractor of this project, we managed the works and coordinated with Coles direct trades to facilitate the works of the 2,500m2 store and ensure that it was run parallel with a full refrigeration upgrade.
The works were made more challenging with limitations as a result of COVID-19, with Prime Build managing the project administration remotely in Victoria and with a dedicated construction team working onsite in Tasmania.
Prime Build successfully engaged and built relationships with the local trades allowing us to deliver the project on time.
Prime Build partnered with Macquarie University to deliver their newly refurbished recording studio.
This highly specialised fitout was delivered within a tight programme to be ready for the first semester of classes. We worked within a live tertiary environment and coordinated our contracted trades with the client’s direct specialist trades to ensure the new space was built to the highest professional standards.
A number of challenges were overcome in the delivery of this project, an example of which being the development and design of new structural steel posts to support the sagging timber endo skeleton, closely detailed and worked through from sketched plans all the way through to physical completion.
The acoustic performance elements of the project, such as textile panels, perforated boards and timber battens were designed in close collaboration with Macquarie University’s Head of Music and Recording. This project will now provide a specialised facility for sound recording, mixing, audio production for university students to utilise.
"Prime Build’s responsiveness and professionalism has made this project come to fruition with ease and also a great deal of fun and excitement"

Prime Build’s scope involved the demolition of existing structures, remediation of the contaminated site, the construction & fitout of a new retail store, minor tenancy and associated car parking.
This project had a heavy focus on structures, including circa 200 screw piles, suspended slab to retail floor, precast panels to perimeter walls, structural steel, installation of two passenger lifts, dock leveller and major utility upgrades to the site.
This project was completed in late February 2019, ready for ALDI to commence trade.
Prime Build were engaged to undertake a complete upgrade to the ageing café at the iconic Arts Centre Melbourne Forecourt.
Following full demolition of the existing structure, the Prime Build team set to work on the dramatically designed Protagonist Cafe project.
A highly technical structure completely floated over the heritage listed pavers. The building employed a steel and concrete ballast system to counter act wind loads whilst ensuring structural integrity.
From the dynamic Kaynemaile mesh curtain that surrounds the perimeter to the dramatic architectural lines of the stainless steel, every aspect was carefully considered and executed. We are proud to have delivered this powerful project in conjunction with the Arts Centre and Cumulus Studios.
