Prime Build

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.

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 offices were constructed within a live tertiary environment, occupied by staff and students. We remained vigilant of the impact construction works would have on the wider RMIT community.
The upgrade included resilient Australian timber finishes and vibrant hand-blown glass light fittings.

The project was delivered in full collaboration with RMIT’s direct contractors and suppliers. Cerno Management acted as the superintendent on the project, which is now being enjoyed by the diverse student body at RMIT.
