PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Our big knock down rebuild, this job was premium from start to finish. We kicked off the planning and design phase for this project in July 2019 and it was an 18-month all in labour of love (with the construction phase taking 13-months).
After many months of planning and liaising with council on designs and approvals, onsite construction started in November 2019 and wrapped up in December 2020.
The approval process consisted of pre-DA, DA and a 4.55 modification with many challenges with council along the way!
Our custom electrical plans for this job were like no other. With multiple suspended concrete slabs, we needed to map out and rough in the electrics for the kitchen, dining and living area before the slab above was poured, due to a ‘strip finish’ concrete ceiling. This resulted in hours on site precisely measuring out every downlight, pendent light, strip light and general power location.
Inner city terrace living also meant ensuring neighbours on either side needed to be kept informed and maintain good working relationships with them as they were going to be impacted by the build.
