A new performing arts building complete with full back and front stage facilities, sound proofed music rooms and teaching areas. The contract required major design input and careful construction methodology to erect the rear slanting precast concrete panels of the Auditorium which were at a 5:1 pitch. With both structural steel and mezzanine concrete suspended slab interfacing with these panels, the final construction sequence was impressive.

Iona Presentation College

The project consisted of a major new sports centre and undercroft car parking facility for Iona Presentation College. The new building was constructed close to neighbouring residences and all while the school remained fully operational.

In order to allow the school to continue to operate careful planning was required with the project phased to allow access to new areas before take over of existing.

Curtin University - Business School

This complex refurbishment of the 4 storey heritage listed ‘Old Government Print Works’ required careful planning and attention to detail. There was a requirement to restore many of the original features prior to progressing with the main refurbishment.

Some areas had to be covered up but a required part of the planning was to ensure that original features were preserved for future generations.
