G8 Chancellor Park, QLD

Works at Chancellor Park included both an external and internal upgrade of the childcare centre whilst still maintaining its normal operating hours.

This included a two phase external upgrade program to keep the one section open for use during our upgrade works. All internal bathroom upgrade works were completed out of normal working hours to ensure there was no disruption to the sites operating ability.

Our external upgrade included installation of new shade structures, turf and bike track surfaces, sand pit upgrades, garden upgrades, fencing upgrades and painting works.
Our internal upgrade works included bathroom joinery replacement, toilet replacement works, wall vinyl installation and plaster and paint touch ups.

Arts Centre Forecourt Cafe, VIC

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.

InvoCare Dandenong, VIC

Le Pine Dandenong is seen as a flagship location for the InvoCare brand; one of Australia’s largest funeral home service providers.

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.
