Prime Build

Works included new wet areas, wall and floor linings, door and window replacement, external hard and soft landscaping and a complete re-roofing.
The project’s scope developed during construction presented some challenges to our Site Team however were overcome by the hands on approach to delivery by our Site Manager and Project Manager.

Camcare provides wellbeing and support services to the local community. The Centre is located within a densely populated residential neighbourhood, so the interests of surrounding homeowners and their families were always a high priority during the four month construction program.

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.

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.

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.

All works were completed with minimal disruption to ACM’s operations.

KEY LEARNINGS

Clear communication is the key to ensuring client expectations are managed. There were instances on this project where Prime Build had missed the mark at times, however we acknowledge our shortfalls and worked hard to overcome them. As a result Prime Build has been awarded ACM’s landmark forecourt café project.
