Prime Build

was carefully designed by the team at Conrad Gargett with simplicity, function and fun in mind. The Charter Hall developed; 6 Star Green Star building inspired us to follow suit and design our own Green Star rated fit out on Level 7.

Features which our own team delivered include polished concrete floors, open plan kitchen, spacious focused work areas and hot desk/collaboration zone, along with careful integration of the base build finishes to reduce waste. The front entry feature consists of sustainably sourced Victorian Ash timber battens and the cantilevered reception counter constructed using concrete with 20% ‘recycled plastic bags’ for aggregate!

Finally a carefully designed IT and AV system has been implemented, using the latest in MS TEAMS enabled equipment to make our users experience as seamless as possible.

The space was constructed within a live  tertiary environment, being a foyer on the ground floor, we remained vigilant of the impact construction works would have on the wider Monash University community. We worked closely with the security team with proactive communication and provided weekly lookahead program to flag items of concern therefore subsequently mitigated potential disruptions.

Works includes new mechanical services, feature pendent lighting, individual working booths and timber hardwood fixed seating that spans across the entire back wall.

The project was delivered in full collaboration with Monash University’s project management teams.

To allow the restaurant to continue to trade, several live environment practices were implemented. Firstly, exclusion zones were created within the restaurant using hoarding while the dining area had work done. This meant that the store could still trade for walk in customers (served at the front counter) as well as drive thru.

The project was also done in stages to allow the restaurant to continue trade with the team working efficiently to make the most of good weather and complete external façade works and limit the time required to shut down the drive thru of the restaurant.

Through effective communication between the client and all other stakeholders, the team pulled together to deliver Prime Build’s first refurbishment for Mcdonald’s.

Set in the small town of Winmalee, Prime Build completed works in a live environment operating around foot traffic and a lot of local interest in the works.

Working closely with the centre manager and local business was key to finishing up defect free in this live environment.

The first stage of the works was completed in a fully operational store with internal intrusive works performed outside of operating hours. To minimise disruption even further, we installed new temporary refrigeration equipment while removing existing equipment.

The second stage saw the store shut down for two weeks to expand the selling floor, fully refurbish the entire store and install and commission new refrigeration, coolrooms & freezers. Despite inclement weather affecting works on site, the project was completed on time and of high quality with a delighted client.

Live Environment

Works on the Ground floor office were done in a live environment, with any electrical shutdowns, noisy works, dusty works or works which could interrupt or interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Ground Floor tenancy completed from midnight to 8:00 am so that the tenant would not be impacted. On completion of the night works Prime Build engaged a cleaner to clean any mutual access areas shared by the Ground Floor tenant. Any works which didn’t generate noise or dust were completed during the day.

Additionally, access to the busy Jones Bay Wharf was restricted requiring sign offs from security and no materials were allowed to be stored on site. As a workaround, Prime Build aimed to have any deliveries to site arrive before or after business hours when the wharf was least busy. Prime Build also worked with wharf security to arrange designated parking for all staff and subcontractors, which can be hard to find in any CBD.

The fitout was completed within two weeks, with the team working around the clock to ensure the project was completed on time and to the highest possible standard.
