The dining rooms, lounges and corridors of an aged care home are refurbished while residents go on living there. We set out what is built in each room and how the work runs around meals, rest and the fire system.
A day centre for older people runs around a shared day in one large room. We set out the activity room, quiet room, toilets, shower, kitchens and doors this adds to a leased shop or office.
Living plants bring water, drainage, power, light and wet weight into an office. What we build behind a green wall, planter troughs and hanging planters, and how moss, timber and wool linings are fixed.
A sustainable materials brief is met product by product in the walls and ceilings. What we check for framing, plasterboard, ceiling tiles, glass, paint and carpet tiles, and what goes in the handover file.
A WELL-certified office is tested after the fitout is finished. Which walls, doors, ceilings, lights, water points and finishes those tests reach, and how we build and sequence them.
An endoscopy unit is planned around cleaning each scope between patients. The procedure room needs ceiling pendants and up to three doors, and the scope rooms behind it need a machine set into the wall, treated water and exhaust.
The wall types, door schedule, glass elevations, finishes schedule and services split a fitout contractor reads to price a drawing set as measured work rather than allowances.
Before a partition layout is priced or built, we walk each wall line to record heights, the ceiling grid, mullions, columns, floor levels and the services and fittings the walls have to clear.
A food production room is planned around where ready-to-eat food sits open. We explain the linings, ceilings, junctions, changeover room, doors and viewing glass we build around it.
A rehabilitation clinic is built around lifting and walking patients who cannot yet move on their own. We set out the hoist and harness tracks, gym walls, doors and practice rooms this adds to a tenancy.
A community health centre shares its rooms between services. We set out the identical consult and interview rooms, after-hours group rooms, duress and lock cabling, split waiting areas and the staff zone.
A laundromat sells machine time, so most of the build sits behind the machines. It covers drains for washers emptying together, a slab for the spin cycle, dryer ducts, gas, power and a customer area open long hours.
An office over a gym, bar or restaurant hears thumps and music and can smell the kitchen. What we can build on the office side, in what order, and which part of the fix sits with the business below.
A pub refit is planned around the cellar that feeds every bar and around keeping the hotel open during the works. We can build the rooms around the cellar plant, the services under each bar and the toilets, in stages.
A waste or recycling site office is planned around keeping dust, odour, pests and contamination out of the rooms where staff eat, work and change. That sets the change rooms, the seals, the linings and the weighbridge office.
Several games run side by side behind closed doors. The rooms, locks and cabling are built so each game stays private and every player can get out at any moment.
A florist shop is planned around keeping flowers in water and cold. What that means for the workroom sinks and floor waste, the cool room front, wet floors and walls, and the route to the back door.
A tenancy under apartments is fitted out below a floor that keeps fire and sound out of people's homes. What that floor, the pipes from above and the approval for the use change in the build.
An orthodontic practice puts its chairs side by side in one open bay. Each chair still needs air, water, suction and power, and the plant room, brushing station, lab and X-ray room sit close around it.
Handing back a commercial suite in a strata building means sorting what belongs to the lot from what belongs to the building, then moving the strip out through a lift and lobby other owners use.
The offices, entry, staging room and staff areas around a data centre's halls are built to keep the halls secure and clean. That shapes the dust controls, fire-rated walls, interlocking entry and amenities.
A craft distillery keeps a flammable spirit process apart from a public tasting room while letting visitors watch the still. We can build the wall, door and window on that line, the spirit store and the visitor rooms.
A student residence's shared rooms are used at every hour by people who live upstairs. We set out how resident numbers size the kitchens and laundries, and how loud rooms and the works are kept away from bedrooms.
Tyre shop customers often wait a few metres from the bays. What we build at the front, from the insulated wall and viewing window to the service office, technicians' amenities and a lockable tyre store.
Tell us what the space is and what you want done. We come and look, then you get the works, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing.
