Problem Solving

The project faced many challenges including but not limited to the following:

• Construction of a large footprint dwelling on a restricted site. This was managed successfully through staging and coordination of the various trades.
• Existing mature frangipanni tree to remain and protected during whole of construction duration restricted access and mobility around the site.
• Timing of project during a period where there were many competing projects which limited availability of key resources and trades. e.g block workers and steel riggers.
• Overhead power lines at street front limited access of cranage.
• Construction in a quiet neighbourhood and special consideration to construction noise and disruptions to adjacent residence.
• Design finishes and fixtures were not finalised by client prior to commencement, which resulted in design changes during construction and hold-ups from long lead time items
