Challenges
Tight congested construction program
The fitout had a very short construction program from the time the floor became a construction site to the client’s move in date. Coordinating all trades while maintaining the job quality within the timeframe was a significant challenge.
Limited goods lift access
The project was built alongside several other fitouts within the building at the same time, within the building there was only 1 goods lift for all trades. This created logistical challenges for material deliveries, waste removal and moving around floors.
Coordination of extensive ceiling services
The project involved integrating extensive mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and fire services within the ceiling space. Coordinating kilometres of ductwork, pipework, cable trays and fire services while accommodating for feature ceilings, feature lighting and architectural finishes required lots of planning, in the moment changes and collaboration.
Solutions
Tight congested construction program
The team worked tirelessly throughout the project, coordinating closely with trades and the base building contractors to maximise productivity. Every trade worked together, ensuring no time was wasted and critical activities were completed as efficiently as possible. The collective hard work and communication work of everyone involved enabled the project to be delivered on schedule without reducing the quality.
Limited goods lift access
Deliveries and material schedule were programmed during early mornings, evenings and quieter periods to avoid peak times for the goods lift. communication with building management and neighbouring contractors ensured lift access was coordinated efficiently and preventing delays.
Coordination of extensive ceiling services
Early coordination with consultants, contractors and the client. Regular site inspections ensured all building services were successfully integrated without majorly changing the design intent. This approach minimised clashes, maintained the construction programme and streamlined any changes.
Testimonial
As an international serviced office and coworking provider, we build office environments all around the world and I can honestly say that Karl and his team at Apex are amongst the most professional construction companies we have ever worked with.
The quality of their work and their attention to detail is second to none. I would definitely recommend Apex to anyone looking for a first class commercial fit out company.Keith Craig – Global Head of Projects & Design, Servcorp
