Prime Build

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.

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.

This challenging project involved largely demolishing the existing structures, while maintaining the existing roof structure, installation of screw piles for new structure, new footings, new structural columns, precast concrete panels and installation of a variety of external claddings. Major upgrading and modifications to base services was also required, included installation of a electrical substation, new communications and drainage infrastructure and a full new mechanical system. External works consisted of new storm water drainage, kerbs, pavement to the car park, extensive landscaping and major upgrades of the existing council footpath. The project was successfully delivered over a four month period.
