Prime Build

The scope consisted over a conversion of the bakery and deli areas, modifications to shop-front checkouts, lighting upgrade, complete remove of the existing vinyl and replacing the floors with a polished concrete floor to the existing slab , sales floor walls, sales floor ceilings and back of house painting upgrades.

The works were completed out of hours while the store continued to trade during the day and early evening. Prime Build were able to ensure the client was able to continue to trade each day and was presented with a clean store prior to store opening every morning.

The redevelopment of the existing building saw three quarters of the structure demolished and an increase to the structure’s footprint. New function space, a chapel, consultation rooms and offices were built to allow InvoCare to operate all functions of the funeral process from the one location.

The project was an exciting challenge for the team, with the structure of the building being held up by laminated glulam timber that was left exposed to add warmth throughout the finished building. The chapel had new 8 metre vaulted ceilings, with full-height glazing to the back of the chapel, allowing a flood of natural light throughout the space, as well as great viewing of the manicured landscaping throughout the back garden.

InvoCare noted that this building will stand as an example for their business and we are proud to have delivered it alongside them.

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.

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.

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.
