Prime Build

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.

This involved the complete strip out of 3 levels to bring the building back to original condition. Each level was approx. 1000m2 and needed to be completely stripped out including all offices, floor finishes and ceilings.

Following from this, new carpets, walls and ceilings had to be reinstalled to match a brand new building standard. This included modifying the building’s mechanical system, lighting and C-BUS along with fire services modification.

In addition to these 3 levels, we were commissioned to install a brand new entry foyer to Myer’s reception area on Level 1 with LED lit feature panels and a new automated sliding door.

A first of its kind project for ALDI in Australia, the existing trading ALDI store was demolished in preparation for the new build. This made it a time critical project to ensure customers are not without there ALDI store for too long.

Prime Build’s scope included the demolition of existing building with the concrete slab elements being retained followed by the construction and fitout of an elevated new retail store and carparking works to the entire site.

Time was of the essence for this project, and as such Prime Build has implemented a range of time saving methodologies including the cast-in Pre Cast prop brackets and carefully sequenced pier / column / deck / precast trades to ensure the structure is erected as safely and efficiently as possible.

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.
