2016 MASTER BUILDERS EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE For the previous six years, Master Builders from throughout Victoria have come together here at the Crown Palladium to formally recognize the newest buildings, the latest renovations and the most ambitious construction works to appear on the landscapes of our communities. At this event in particular, projects join a long and distinguished tradition of construction excellence in our state. 2016 marks the 141st anniversary for Master Builders Association of Victoria, and though we still have nine years before we reach it, I think it’s natural to begin getting just a bit excited about our association’s sesquicentennial. To judge from the projects we share with you tonight, Master Builders is approaching that milestone with considerable momentum. You, our members, submitted 98 projects to our judges and events team to survey and evaluate. The broad and exceptional construction talent we enjoy this evening is a vivid demonstration of how much our industry contributes to the health of our economy and the quality of life we enjoy in Victoria. Ours is a business with many challenges, and we rise consistently to those challenges with pride and dedication.

Heritage-listed projects such as this one are always a challenge, involving the balance of old and new, without compromising either. This project has an unusual bespoke, dome-like façade covered in glass fibre-reinforced concrete cladding in hexagonal and pentagonal pieces, lending the structure a distinctive personality and presence in the community it serves. We also congratulate BFN Developments as Regional Master Builder of the Year for their work on Newmason in Warragul. The project is a multifaceted synthesis of hotel, retail, medical service and apartment complex in the heart of a country town. Master Builders could not fully recognize the achievements of our members without experienced and highly qualified judges. We thank them for donating considerable time to the process, and for allowing Master Builders to benefit from their expertise. Master Builders also has the support of many valuable sponsors. It is their generous support that allows us to celebrate the winners in such fi ne style, and we thank them for it sincerely. PETER PICKING President, Master Builders Association of Victoria

While every project featured in these pages is victorious in its own way, we select just one for the programs highest honour, Master Builder of the Year. This year, that distinction goes to Kane Constructions Pty Ltd for their work on the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre.

At face value this building looks just like any other office building, but hidden inside is a building which received the maximum GreenStar rating of 6 Stars (As built). The building is also aiming for the maximum NABERS rating of 5 stars. This was all delivered in a site with difficult access and one that incorporated a number of surrounding heritage buildings and facades. Highly efficient chillers and water reduction features reduced ongoing energy and water use. A high level of monitoring throughout the building means whole of life savings as the heating and cooling systems can be balanced effectively and ongoing maintenance is made easier.

PROJECT: KLM

After a competitive process, “Elite” successfully tendered for the head contract role for the new headquarter of the largest manufacturer of disposable food containers in the southern hemisphere. The design for the building was conscious of the potential for differential movement resulting in the site requiring impact rolling, the construction of bored piers under load bearing elements, and the thickening of slabs-on-ground to 250mm thick to deal with the issue. The building needs to facilitate a technical fabrication process and requires a high degree of services coordination.

The client desired an energy efficient, green and intelligent building that was responsive to the ocupiers and to the prevailing weather. To help deliver this, walls and ceilings are heavily insulated, windows are heavily insulated and elongated where appropriate to capture winder sun, but are also shaded at high level by timber batten screens to provide thermal relief in the summer. The end project features an office space crafted to suit the progressive planning and engineering services, with a key focus on efficiency, respect for the site and its surrounding users.

The building internals offer a safer loading and unloading area for the Melbourne Market and food production operations. This has created a direct transfer road from the warehousing area to the trading floor complex. This development provides warehouse space for over 100 tenants and several recessed docks for specific tenants.

This Dan Murphy’s development has been designed and built to stand the test of time. A key aspect of the design was to ensure the national head office was robust, strong and dominant, yet sleek and stylish. Most importantly, this was to portray the strong identity of the renowned and trusted Dan Murphy’s brand. The store was to incorporate the identical philosophy yet be welcoming and easily accessible to customers.

This project involved the construction of a new technical education centre specialising in technical facilities and an external workshop. The building incorporates the Government’s incentive to provide cutting edge facilities and equipment to support young people. The design and build on the site, located on indigenous ground is sympathetic to the environment, yet hosts state of the art facilities in a modern welcoming building. The project team delivered an exemplary building project with minimal defects.

PROJECT: Manhattan,

Toorak WEBSITE: www.lusimon.com.au DESIGNER: Robert Mills

PROJECT: Sanctuary

This project was undertaken to construct Manhattan Toorak, a four-level apartment complex comprising of 14 high-end apartments including one penthouse. Each apartment contains a spacious living area, a bespoke design layout with each apartment having its own private courtyard/balcony area. This project also includes a basement car park for all residents. This construction is complete with reinforced concrete, precast walls, toscano render and aluminium window frames.

Sanctuary Apartments is the third and final stage of a three stage mixed use development providing 193 high end apartments. The form of the structure presented a higher than standard degree of difficulty, being a wedding cake design with no repetition of floor plates. The structure which was initially designed as a mix of conventional in-situ structure with post tensioned slabs, was re-engineered to incorporate as much precast concrete as possible, the result is a structure with 95% of columns constructed out of precast concrete.

The unique nature of this project meant a lot of time was spent thinking laterally to produce a construction sequence beneficial to all, from the first truckload of soil to be removed, right through to the goods lift finally emerging through the main dining room floor. There is extensive in-house storage, a casual members’ area and a vast consolidated area to house wine bottles.

The Rialto Regeneration project presents a complexity of safety risks given the extent of demolition and construction within this rejuvenation of the existing Rialto Towers. Specific safety challenges include providing safe, efficient public access to and through the existing towers and communicating access to multiple stakeholders, ensuring the construction site is well segregated from the public and ensuring the construction site is safe for workers. Built developed and implemented initiatives to ensure a strong safety focus amongst the team, contractors and stakeholders.

Built undertook and completed within eight months, an extensive premium fitout across nine levels of AGL Energy’s new head office. The ‘shared workplace learning’ concepts driving the fiitout design, presents a layout with dynamic workstations and project rooms for employees to use and adapt spaces to suit their current project. One of the major challenges involved the sheer quantity of joinery elements needed, including more than 700 individual pieces other than wall panelling or cladding.

The scope of works required the installation of piles for the new boardwalk and facilities, however no machinery was able to track across the building platform which is located among Penguin and Shearwater burrows. This working platform was 15 metres from the access track. To meet this challenge, Piling Systems designed and manufactured a boom extension which overcame this problem. This 5 metre extension was built within 48 hours. Using this extended boom we were able to install all piles with no environmental impact on the penguin habitat.

Whether your next project is in a national park or a busy CBD location, Piling Systems is your best choice for Screw Piling!

PROJECT: Whitehorse

The building provides state-of-the-art training facilities including a large lecture theatre, break-out space for students, offices, teaching and training areas and a plethora of amenities. General fitout of the existing level two and three shell spaces required a higher than normal expected office and laboratory fitout, as the areas require not only to be integrated, but also to showcase the facilities as state-of-the-art in order to attract both national and international research.

This project involved creating new accommodation for the Trust in the Yarra Building at Federation Square, including gallery spaces together with accommodation and the collections on level three. A key aspiration of this project was to make the collection far more visible and accessible to both the Koorie and non-Koorie communities. To meet this, there is a collection storage space combined with an arrangement of secure display shelves and draws.

This project featured many high quality finishes and involved intricate detailing, in particular around the façade, tiling and timber veneer works. The new façade featured structurally double-glazed high-specification panels. All finishes followed an intricate alignment by design, between ceilings, floor tiles, timber fins and wall panelling. Particular attention was paid to the application and quality of the waterproofing as the existing building had been subject to numerous leaks, previously creating ongoing maintenance issues.

Frasers Property intended to incorporate the use of modular offices in order to fast track the construction programme, however when the modular contractor withdrew, the project team were able to successfully re-engineer the building and still deliver the project ahead of the original date.

This impressive build has so much to offer, including a rooftop deck and pool. Both architectural and innovative, this build balances both natural light and maximises office space.

The building structure is a continuation of suspended concrete slabs, post tensioning and precast columns / panels. This structural method allowed a quick turnaround on construction with a level being pinned every fortnight. A concrete roof was installed in lieu of metal deck roofing which assisted in speeding up the construction on site. The use of lightweight metal stud partitioning enabled the achievement of the fire rating and acoustic requirements. A mixture of glazed and perforated-metal balustrades and screens has been used throughout the building.

PROJECT: 150

Centrally located within the business district at the heart of Melbourne, this design-and-construct redevelopment of the original Lonsdale Street Myer site has gone beyond expectation. A practical and responsible management procedure minimised any impacts and disruptions to surrounding infrastructure, business and the general public. A review of all internal mall finishes resulted in material selections being revised along with feature joinery elements. The new design focused on a band beam and suspended slab methodology incorporating multiple framework systems.

This project required a high degree of project management throughout the development which included the design, demolition, construction and handover phases. Focus was placed on pre-cast concrete for below-ground structure, and steel frame and Bondek for the above-ground structure. The heritage-listed façade was retained, restored and integrated into the new structure and provides the site with a unique aesthetic to its northern elevation.

Given the site’s proximity to the George’s Building, Scots’ Church and Assembly Hall, as well as surrounding commercial, retail and residential establishments, effective site management was required to ensure success of the project. A key part in ensuring this success was the development and implementation of a detailed construction management plan.

With sustainable materials and practice at its core, this project implemented multiple design strategies to achieve its goal. All lighting systems were carefully selected to offer improved energy efficiency along with highly flexible controls. Sensored zoning is intelligently controlled by a building automation system. Energy and water meters have been installed enabling the tenant to monitor their consumption and utilise potential savings. Incorporating existing structures into the design was of significant importance in order to not only preserve the historical façade, but also to produce a net reduction on consumed materials.

The Austin Radiology Department is situated in the lower levels of a mid-century building located in the middle of the hospital campus and surrounded by other major buildings. The scope of the project included the refurbishment of the department to include a new X-ray suite, new MRI suite, recovery and waiting bays, the addition of new reporting rooms, as well as a reconfigured layout to support current models of care and work practices.

This major upgrade covered many aspects, including the improvement of an existing IT network system and network security, the installation of approximately 300 televisions across the Northern and Great Southern stands, multiple service upgrades and all associated construction work. The vast area of the project was of significant note in the ability to keep the MCG running as normal. To alleviate this concern, a series of work zones was created.

This fit-out interlinked a number of elements and design features, including the extensive use of external curved corners encompassing all ceilings and partitions. The project spanned seven floors with the key feature being the interconnecting staircase featuring a two-tier bulkhead incorporating curved corners that frame the void edges of every floor. The underside of the bulkhead and stair soffit feature an uninterrupted LED strip-light following the curves of levels. This required highly precise bead installation, patience and unerring attention to detail.

This project involved four main stairs that acted as the key egress from the football ground into the function room. Accordingly stairs one, two, three and four diplay a feature balustrade which consists of 6mm steel plate and an innovative balustrade with weighted plates.

With the use of lightgrey colours, clean lines, feature glass, lighting and the contemporary design, the facility is open and inviting to the neighbouring and the surrounding environment. The floor plan was successfully designed according to the most efficient and effective use of space and specialistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; requirements.

The scope of this project required the renovation and extentsion of an old TAFE site to accommodate the CFA district office operation and control centre. The new extension features double glazed windows, acoustic earth wool insulation in walls and ceilings, and intelligent temperature and organic response lighting control throughout. As the existing structure was constructed from concrete blocks, a solution had to be designed to allow communications from the tower to the communications centre. To achieve this, cable ducts with removable access panels have been built along the corridors and the bulkhead through the foyer, designed to conceal these cables and tie the two ends of the building together.

Inside the facility, the pool takes up the bulk of the building footprint, with a plant room, change facilities and administration area to the south. The finishes are designed to be hardwearing and tolerant to the wet, humid and chlorinated environment.

The redevelopment of the Gellibrand Depot required the transformation of a largely dilapidated and cumbersomely configured site into a highly functioning, safe workspace that can operate at an optimal level during peak fire season periods. Works include the progressive demolition of ten existing structures and the construction of eight buildings, including an office and amenities building, a dangerous goods shed, a workshop and chainsaw shed and a burn-mix trailer shed. The environmental setting and ruggedness of the sites terrain influenced the overall aesthetics of the build, ensuring a smooth blend between the design and the surrounding environment.
