Prime Build

Prime Build promptly responded to the call of assistance and with previous experience in flood recovery works in NSW and QLD were able to rally teams to begin the strip out of the store.

A strategy was developed to rebuild and improve the store with a hybrid renewal that included a brand new direct-to-boot service. With supermarket shelves stripped bare in the region there were many challenges in getting the project completed in 15 weeks by the advertised store opening date to give the community reassurance.

The scope included the upgrade of all refrigeration plants from 404 to C02, new cool/ freezer rooms, upgrades to 2 other stores and a temporary pop-up e-store. With an ever-changing design, certification scope and budget, it took a monumental effort by the Prime Build team and Contractors to complete the project.

We are proud to say that the project was a success with the doors reopening on time as requested to a improved store and a grateful community.

This refurbishment project is trialling a new concept and layout that includes a Click and Collect robot which picks and delivers customers products to the service desk within the store!

Our Team worked around the clock in a busy live environment to deliver the store in 4 weeks and have the store ready for the important Christmas trade period.

The Beauty area spanning ~1900m2 has been reimagined with new fittings and finishes to complement the recently refurbished upper levels. This new design included the complete overhaul of the Bourke Street façade, incorporating an intricate design in stone and bronze window reveals.

The project was completed in two stages, thoughtfully synchronized with the construction timeline and operational needs of the store.

Minimal disruption to store activities presented many challenges including access to the site limited to before 7AM or after 7PM on busy Bourke Street, requiring high levels of coordination between day and night crews.

A key aspect of the project was the preservation of existing heritage elements and the Project Team successfully executed a solution enabling works to continue whilst a heritage issue was resolved.

A final challenge was the new addition of feature cladding to the existing escalators that could not be executed during trading hours. Full height scaffolding encasing the escalators was erected each night and removed before trade resumed each day.

Prime Build successfully delivered a high-quality project, in the time required, without any safety issues, always avoiding the loss of trading time, all of which was paramount to the Client.

The project was considered a major refurbishment which included significant structural and services alterations along with a complete overhaul of all finishes throughout the selling floor.

A major challenge involved the presence of asbestos in the adhesive beneath the vinyl flooring, necessitating its safe removal prior to installing new finishes. Meticulous planning allowed for nightly containment of each stage of HAZMAT removal operations, ensuring air quality monitoring and clearance certificates were issued every morning, thereby allowing the store to reopen daily without disrupting commerce.

In addition, the existing stores island Deli was required to be demolished and a new Deli, Bakery and Fish preparation and service area constructed with set down for refrigeration and food preparation grade floor and walls.

The successful store transformation included new design elements from the Coles Design Kit and was completed on time and budget with only one defect listed on the target completion date.
