• All trades inducted; site protocols and emergency procedures communicated.

• Structural steel

  • Structural grout between the steel beams has been completed

• Bricklayers

  • Following the structural engineer’s site inspection, approval was provided to remove and relocate the remaining internal walls on the ground floor.

  • The walls have now been removed, and the bricklayer has completed approximately 75% of the downstairs brickwork. Additional sections of the floor slab were also cut out to allow the new brickwork to be constructed directly on the existing footings

  • We are still awaiting the structural engineer’s confirmation of the structural steel required to replace the support previously provided by the wall.

  • We anticipate that the remaining ground-floor brickwork will be completed early next week.

• Plumbing

  • Good progress has been made on the plumbing pre-lay works this week. The pre-lay for Graeme’s ensuite is now complete, along with the required concrete cutting and plumbing pre-lay works throughout the ground floor and upper floor.

  • We are now waiting for the bricklayer to complete the remaining walls. Once complete, the ground-floor slab infills can be poured, allowing the downstairs framing to commence and the plumbers to proceed with the tube-out works.

• Roof Extension

  • All materials required to complete the roof structure have now been received, and we have commenced the roof modification works.

  • The existing roof sheets obstructing the works have been removed. Temporary tarps have been installed over the exposed areas to maintain weather protection while the works progress.

  • The roof coverings and gutter details have also been confirmed with the roof plumbing contractor, who remains booked to complete the roof sheeting during the second week of August.

• Stormwater and Soakwells

  • As previously noted, no details were available confirming the existing stormwater system or the locations of the soakwells.

  • This week, a civil consultant attended site.  We have completed camera inspections of the existing downpipes, drainage lines and soakwells across the facility. The consultant is now reviewing the findings and preparing recommendations for the required stormwater works.

• Programme and Trade Scheduling

  • Jamie, the newly appointed Project Manager from Maxi, has now been introduced to the project. We are working closely with Jamie to establish how our respective systems and processes can be effectively integrated for the remainder of the works.

  • The construction programme has now been developed as far as the currently available information allows. We have commenced sequencing the upcoming works, coordinating trade interfaces and confirming trade bookings in line with the programme.

• Awaiting on final FFE levels, finishes, CEO bathroom details outstanding electrical details

  • This week, we met with the architect, Hall & Prior and Maxi to review the outstanding finishes and design selections. Unfortunately, the meeting raised several further queries that still require clarification.

  • Maxi and Mata are now working closely with the relevant parties to expedite the outstanding decisions and finalise the finishes schedule as soon as possible.

• Stage 1 and Stage 2 remain separate projects.

  • The architect has confirmed that the client has instructed that Stage 2 be progressed independently from Stage 1.

  • As a result, Stage 2 design documentation is still in the early stages, with the architect only recently submitting their fee proposal. Stage 2 drawings are therefore expected to be several months away from completion.

• Waiting on drawings and information from

  • The solar consultants

  • Civil engineer regarding stormwater and associated civil works.

• Project Budget Review

  • As the design and scope have evolved considerably since the project commenced, we have discussed with the team the need to undertake our own Quantity Surveyor (QS) review once a completed set of drawings has been received.

  • Until the design documentation is finalised and a QS review has been completed, we are unable to confirm whether the project will remain within the original budget.

• Programme Impact

  • Due to the contributing factors outlined above, delays to the overall completion of the project are anticipated.

  • We will continue to actively manage the programme, coordinate the outstanding information, and expedite the remaining works wherever reasonably possible to minimise any delay.

• All trades inducted; site protocols and emergency procedures communicated.

• Structural steel

  • Structural grout between the steel beams has been 90% completed

• Bricklayers

  • The bricklayers have completed the external skins around the eastern and western sides of the building. They are scheduled to commence the internal brickwork between the bathroom areas the week after next. Framework is well underway on the top floor

  • We have identified an issue with the existing north-south brick wall on the eastern side, which is not in the location shown on the current drawings. This impacts the service penetrations coming down through the suspended slab, as the wall is currently obstructing the proposed service runs.

  • We have met with the structural engineer on site and are awaiting his advice on whether additional roof steel will be required if the wall is relocated. Subject to confirmation from the engineer, the existing wall will be removed and rebuilt in the correct location in approximately two weeks.

• Plumbing

  • We have received updated plans from the architect and engineer confirming the service locations for Graham’s ensuite.

  • The boundary wall backing onto Graham’s ensuite has now been removed. Plumbers are scheduled to commence next week to complete the core drilling and pre-lay works for Graham’s ensuite.

  • While on site, they will also complete the concrete cutting and pre-lay works required for the remaining downstairs bathrooms.

• Roof Extension

  • The structural engineer has attended site to review the roof extension and has now issued the required structural drawings.

  • We have reviewed the drawings, confirmed the materials required, and placed the material orders. The roof plumbers have been booked to sheet the roof in the second week of August.

  • To align with this, we anticipate commencing the roof extension works approximately 7 to 10 days prior. While we are aiming to progress these works as soon as possible, the sequencing has been planned to minimise the period where the building is exposed and reliant on temporary tarping.

• Internal Linings

  • The gyprockers have commenced on site and are progressing with wall battening, framing set-out, and marking out for the ceiling works.

• Scaffolding and external works

  • Scaffolding has now been fully erected, providing access to commence the replacement of the external timber beams along the northern and western elevations.

  • Subject to material availability, these works are scheduled to commence within the next week.

• Programme and Trade Scheduling

  • Now that the further consultant and structural drawings have been received, we have been able to progress trade bookings and sequencing.

  • The construction programme and schedule are now close to being finalised, with the updated consultant information allowing us to lock in the next stages of work.
