INTRODUCTION 1.1

GENERAL DESCRIPTION + HISTORY

!

The project is a two storey building with a basement car park. The building will contain six two-bedroom apartments.

The site is located on High Street in Kew, approximately 7.6 km east of the Melbourne CBD. High Street serves as a major traffic artery into the city, and is well serviced by public transport. The basement car park is accessible from the rear entrance to the property in Foley Street.

The project was first submitted for approval as a three storey building with eight apartments. It was refused a planning permit by Boroondara Council on the basis that the design was an overdevelopment of the site, had significant overlooking issues and was not in keeping with the character and scale of the surrounding environments. The developer appealed the decision, but the refusal was upheld at VCAT in 2011.

In early 2012 an amended design was submitted to Boroondara Council. The council considered the new design a “substantial improvement on the previous application which was refused by VCAT” and “an appropriate design response for the site and has addressed the previous application's shortcomings as identified by Council Officers and VCAT”. None the less, the amended design still received thirteen objections to the proposal. The council granted a planning permit in December 2012 and construction commenced mid 2014.

1.2

PROJECT DETAILS + PARTICIPANTS + PROCUREMENT !

The project is a two storey, six apartment building including a basement car park. The site size is approximately 657m2 (13.67m x 48.12m). The construction cost is estimated at $2,800,000.

The estimated construction time is approximately 12 months. Construction commenced in mid 2014, but had a slow start due to the poor ground conditions. The project is expected to reach practical completion in late June or early July 2015.

The key project participants are as follows: The Builder / Principal - on this project, the Builder and the Principal are the same entity, as the builder is a property developer. The Builder / Principal will be the Principal Contractor for the purposes of the Occupational Health & Safety Act 2004 and the Occupational Health & Safety Regulations 2007.

The architect: responsible for the design and documentation of the project through the planning and construction phase of the project.

Geotechnical, civil and structural engineers: their specialised engineering knowledge has been particularly important on this project due to the poor ground conditions, which caused delay to the excavation and site retention. The site soil conditions were Class P (problem site). The builder consulted two different structural engineers in order to design the most cost-effective foundation construction method.

Sourced from the Australian Standard AS2870 -2011.

The quantity surveyor - the QS regularly visits the site to assess and value the work completed each month. Normally a QS would assess the Builder’s monthly progress payments to the Principal, however on this project the QS is also responsible for reporting on the job’s progress to the project financier. The financier is keen to ensure that the Project Cost to Complete is not exceeded, and that each month no more money is paid out than necessary, to ensure that if the Builder / Principal were to become insolvent, the financier would still have enough money left to complete the project and achieve a return on their investment.

It is difficult to describe the procurement strategy used on this project, as the Principal and the Builder are the same entity. Accordingly, it is unlikely that there has been any formal tender or procurement process to engage the Builder.!

2!

However, on similar apartment projects where the Principal and Builder are separate entities, it is likely that the Principal would be a property developer who is experienced in this type of residential construction work. In these cases, the Principal would usually have fully designed and documented the project during the planning permit process. This documentation would have been used to tender the project, and then the Principal and the Builder would have most likely committed to a lump sum contract. Recent research has shown that common forms of contract used for this type of building work are AS4000 and the ABIC MW contract (Sharkey et al, 2014).

As this type of low-rise residential construction project is relatively straight forward, it does not lend itself to alternative forms of procurement, such as Construction Management or an Alliance. It is possible that the Principal could have entered into a D&C (or a novated D&C ) contract in order to pass the design risk to the Builder. However this is unlikely, as it would be rare for a builder of this size to have the ability to manage the design process effectively.

1.3

PROJECT DOCUMENTATION + APPROVAL

There are several management steps that must be taken to ensure the project adheres to all regulations. The first step is to obtain a planning permit from the local council, for our site this was Boroondara Council. This illustrates that the planned construction complies with the planning scheme outlined by the State Government and tailored by the Boroondara Council.

As per the Building Act 1993 and the Building Regulations 2006, the Builder must have a valid building permit prior to commencing construction. This must be lodged by a registered building practitioner to the building surveyor. By this point, the construction documentation is usually more advanced than it was at the planning permit stage. The building surveyor confirms that the construction documentation is in accordance with the intent of the previously issued planning permit, and meets the requirements of the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards.

At the end of the project, the building surveyor visits site to confirm that the completed construction work is in accordance with the building permit documentation, and that the building is suitable for occupation. If everything is in order, the building surveyor will issue an occupancy permit. This is usually a condition precedent to Practical Completion, and is necessary for the Principal / Builder to settle on the contracts with the apartment purchasers.

Services approval were also sought from utility authorities such as Yarra Valley Water, and the appropriate electrical and gas suppliers. In addition to the permanent connections, the Builder would have also made applications for temporary water and electrical connections to service the site and site amenities during the construction phase.

1.4

STORAGE, SECURITY + FACILITIES

!

Most items are stored on-site, as close as possible to the area that they will be used, in order to minimise double handling of materials and the associated loss of productivity.

The roof trusses are a good example as they were stacked on the second story in the apartments where they will ultimately be installed. Weather sensitive products are stored in the basement to keep them out of the elements.

The main security measure on this site is temporary fencing supplied by Eagle Hire. This is used to denote the boundary of the site and keep people out. (Eagle Hire is also an example of the multiplier effect at play creating jobs in an industry that supports the building industry.) Site signage is typical of any domestic construction site with the builder’s details and statutory approvals on the fence as well as construction site warnings and notices to deter trespassers.

Once lock up is complete, security becomes less of a problem as it is more difficult to enter the apartments without a key. However prior to the lockup stage the builder is careful to not leave any valuable tools or items on the site over the weekend or any other extended duration that no one is working on the site.

The site toilet is also supplied by Eagle hire and is located at the rear of the site. This portable toilet needs to be emptied on occasion and this involves requesting the hire company to come to the site and pump out the waste.

The large skip bin is also located at the rear of the site and required frequent replacement throughout the building process as it is filled with building waste.

In this image we can see the beginnings of the stud-frame walls being constructed. One wall has been erected and Ramset into place. It has supports propping it up to prevent it collapsing or buckling under wind load.

There is another section of the wall resting against the one which is installed. This will form one of the interior walls of the apartment Fig 1.01 Construction of stud framing

!

once it has been positioned and

!

fixed onto the slab.

In the image above we can see the core-filled, steel reinforced concrete blocks.

The remaining steel reinforcement that is visible will be cut off once the concrete has completely cured.

This is an example of concrete block construction which is an alternative to other methods such as standard brick walls, pre-cast concrete or steel frame construction.

SITE ACCESS + SAFETY ACCESS Site access proved to be an issue when delivering the roof trusses to site.

The truck crane did not have the reach to place the trusses on the second storey, where they were required.

This meant that they had to be individually passed onto the balcony cantilever and carried into their respective apartments.

SAFETY

Multiple safety measure have been taken on side including fall protection, scaffolding, ladders, work lights and power cable hangers.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES Few management issues exist at this stage of the build. The only problem that the builder recently encountered was with the brick layers who didn’t work on a particular day which threatened the timing of the concreters who would be core filling the blocks that were yet to be laid. The brick layers were able to get the job done in time which saved numerous headaches that would arise if the concreters had to be rebooked.

SITE FEATURES Internal timber framing on the lower floor has been erected (figure 2.01). Services such as water, gas and electricity have been routed along the walls to allow for a speedier installation of appliances later on in the construction process.

Measurements and markings of appliances and facilities (showers, sinks etc.) have been used as a guide for subcontractors to install services where the correct facility will be placed (figure 2.01). The bathroom in the left figure shows the measurements of a toilet fixture with the appropriate plumbing installed behind.

!

For ease of installation and better organisation with routing service utilities, electrical cables and gas pipes have been installed through the timber stud to minimise usage of space. Utilities have been deliberately drilled in the middle of the nogging to minimise effect on structural rigidity. !

!

The prefabricated timber roof trusses from the last visit have been installed and joined with both the interior wall framing (via brackets) and the exterior block wall (figure 2.03). Electricity and gas has been installed through the trusses and tiles have been installed across some of the purlins. Roof trusses have been connected by steel gussets/boots to the timber wall framing and also to the fixing plates drilled to the concrete block wall.

During construction, the frontyard is primarily used for storage of unused materials and building waste as there is no landscaping taking place at this point in the build (figure 2.03; 2.04).

14!

SITE ACCESS + SAFETY ACCESS A temporary construction fence has been placed in the backyard for security purposes. However, front access is difficult as there is no driveway making it difficult for vehicles to deliver materials into the front yard. This allows for building materials to be stored in both the backyard and frontyard when delivered on site. Building waste is also noted in the frontyard which is an issue as the waste bin is located at the rear of the property.

SAFETY

Several safety measures taken on site such as extensive use of scaffolding, ladders, construction lighting, protective googles, appropriate cover for weather conditions.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES The only notable issue was the disposal of building scarps/rubbish at the front of the property. Roof tilers were not comfortable throwing broken and cut roof tiles into the bin at the back and chose to drop the tiles out the front of the house (figure 2.09). This caused a mismanagement of labour, as it was not possible to transport waste by wheelbarrow to the waste bin at the rear. Therefore the builder incurred extra labour costs to manually transport the tiles through to the rear of the building.

Previously the builder was using the external areas for storage space, however the materials storage space has moved into the basement. Now that this area has been made weatherproof, the basement’s large open spaces are an ideal location for materials storage, however the builder will need to coordinate this carefully, as the need to provide materials storage conflicts with the need to complete works in the basement areas. Site access for materials into the basement is s via Foley St. In this area we were able to see steel reinforcement, rendering materials and MGP10 timber.

It is evident that the builder is taking care to maintain good housekeeping and keeping the access ways clear. Good housekeeping is an important safety issue on construction sites, as it reduces the risk of trips, falls and manual handling injuries. Orderly materials storage also removes “double handling” and other causes of lost productivity.

!

Rendering of the external walls is about to begin. Render is an applied finish made up of a cooked sand and cement mix, often used in external areas. There is usually a base coat applied with a trowel, this is allowed to dry before a final coat is put on. There are several different ways to finish the topcoat depending on the design

requirements

required.

These

range from smooth to textured scrapped or even machine finished.

SITE ACCESS + SAFETY ACCESS There are two access way on to the building site. The front entrance located on Foley Street has driveway access for ease of delivering goods. There is also a rear entrance located on High street which doesn’t have a driveway so is less frequently used.

SAFETY The building still had scaffolding and fall protection for the external trades. The kickboards shown in Image 3.3 are important component of the scaffolding, as they reduce the risk of building material being dropped or knocked off a scaffold on to people working below. On other building sites, it is common for this type of scaffolding to be draped in shade cloth to further reduce the risk of items falling.

Often builders will use a “lock out” system, to ensure that no one is allowed to work under an area when there are potentially dangerous works happening overhead.

There were lead hooks provided but on this particular site visit there were electrical leads on the ground.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES The coordination of works in the basement is likely to become an issue for the Builder. At present the basement is being used as a storage area, and as site amenities (lunchroom) for the workers. The Builder needs to provide lay-down space and storage areas for the project, and if these are well thought out and efficient it reduces double-handling and improves the productivity of the works. The Builder also needs to provide a certain amount of lunchroom space and toilets - many industrial agreements dictate what size amenities are required based on the number of workers on site.

The Builder needs to maintain this storage space and site amenities, but the Builder will also need to empty this area to be able to complete the works in the basement.

Resolving the tension between often conflicting requirements is an important part of construction management. The builder will need to consider the staging of the works in this area, in order to minimize the amount of times the site facilities need to be relocated (which can be a costly and time consuming exercise).

SITE FEATURES The progression of the site

this

week

visually

was

significant.

Entering the site, a large transformation

was

evident to the exterior.

Bricks are a traditional material favoured in the construction industry for values of strength, warmth and reliability. However, the process also requires skilled tradesmen and can work out to be a costly and timely task. Brick tiles/slips offer an alternative, while still producing similar aesthetic effects and values of traditional bricks, brick slips offer a quick, cost effective option and don’t require skilled brick layer for their installation or specific foundations, hence for these reasons they become a popular practice in the construction industry.

Initially brick slips were manufactured by removing the face of an actual brick however this method lead to unnecessary costs and high levels of waste. Now, they are specifically cut as tiles from clay. For our site, a pressed red smooth tile was used, the tiles are the same dimensions of a normal brick, 230mmx76mm and are also available as corner tiles, adding to convenience (figure 4.03). There are different methods for installing brick slips, the method used for our site required the use of a cement based adhesive.

Fig 4.03 Corner tiles

Fig 4.04 The lined bedding of cement adhesive can be seen behind the brick tiles

22!

To be successful the area needs to be dry and clean from any dust, dirt and in our case laitance (fine particles formed on the surface of cement due to moisture movement) that may be present.

The surface needs to be lined with a bed (figure 4.04), and each brick must be ‘buttered’ fully with the mix, ensuring no holes are left where water could become trapped forcing tiles off if freezing occurs, before being adhered to the area. Plastic tile spacers were used to maintain the tiles position until the adhesive was set (figure 4.05).

Once set, mortar was used to fill the voids between the tiles and smoothed out using a trowel, like bricks (figure 4.06). This process was Fig 4.05 Tile Spacers

completed roughly and then once the mortar had dried the tiles could be cleaned (figure 4.07).

Fig 4.07 Basement Wall comparison, top half filled with mortar and cleaned, bottom half is not.

23!

Moving into the building, interior walls had also progressed. The wall insulation had been installed and plasterboards were beginning to be put up. The insulation used was ‘pink batts’, fitting snuggly between the studs of the wall framing (figure 4.08), a type of bulk insulation and therefore controls heat transfer via conductivity.

Insulation provides thermal regulation and control essentially acting as a barrier to keep heat from exiting a building when cold outside or keeping heat out when hot outside. The effectiveness of insulation is measured by an R-value that is dependent on the thickness and density of the material, the higher the R-value the better. The R-value for the projects wall insulation was 2.2.

Fig 4.09 Insulation lying between ceiling joists

Fig 4.08 Bulk insulation between studs.

Fig 4.10 Insulation, viewed through manhole , lying on ceiling battens

Roof insulation had started to be installed, where again pink batts were used and rested on the ceiling battens and between ceiling joists. In addition to this, reflective sarking was used to line the pitch of the roof to further control temperature.

24!

The interior walls were starting to be lined with plasterboards of 10mm thickness.

Boards are sized out and adhered to the stud frame then bolted in landscape orientation. A small gap, 6-10mm, is left between slab and plasterboards to allow for potential movement and avoid moisture transferring from slab to plaster (figure 4.12).

SITE ACCESS + SAFETY ACCESS Access was relatively easy for the tiler, entering from Foley street however the Plasterers found it more convenient to enter the site from the back. They could easily transport the plaster boards into the building from the truck parked on street, avoiding the tight stair case from the basement access.

SAFETY Several safety measurements were taken into account on site, a main element for the visit was communication. The plasterers were transporting boards into the building at a quick pace, hence it was crucial to communicate with the tradespeople to ensure spaces were clear to walk through and minimise any risk of collisions.

Scaffolding is in place for the tiler and safety lights throughout the building, particularly in stairways.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES A management issue surrounded the plasterers and their access into the building.

They had to access the site from High Street and run the boards in for the first floor

! to avoid the stair case from the basement. A similar issue occurred when transporting the boards to the second level to again avoid the staircase from first story to second story. The boards were transported from High Street however had to be lifted up to second floor balcony by the plasterers to the carpenters who would then move them into the building. This was an issue that wasn’t planned for, but was fortunately resolved with minimal delays to the project.

SITE ACCESS + SAFETY ACCESS The building site has two access points; a more frequently utilised entrance/driveway on Foley Street allowing access for trades and goods delivery and a back entrance on High Street, a busier road without a driveway leading to more difficult access and thus, infrequent use.

SAFETY Safety measures have been taken throughout the site. Scaffolding and fall protection remains erected to ensure safety for labourers when working on the upper storeys.

Communication was strong between workers on site; critical when materials are constantly being transported between the levels to avoid injury.

All live electrical wires were marked thus to notify individuals on site to prevent accidents.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES !

There were few issues in management during this site visit. One issue however was evident concerning materials access; all materials required for the construction of the top storey (timber + metal studs etc.) had to be carried up the two flights of stairs by the workers on-site as access for a crane was not possible. This creates significant labour costs and negatively impacts construction time; building can only progress as fast as material transport can allow. This issue often arises in small budget domestic sites (unlike the majority of big budget commercial projects). The site manager handled this well, ensuring efficiency in an attempt to decrease the impact on the overall construction cost/time.

33!

Each plasterboard is attached to the timber frames using strong water based acrylic adhesives.

The type of adhesives used specifically is BGC Stud Adhesive and the plasterboards are manufactured by Gyprock.

Figure 6.5.

Figure 6.6.

On top of finished attaching the plasterboards on the interior, adhesives are coated on top of them. This feathering function to further provide stronger bond to the plasterboards so they would not fall off. The adhesives are applied especially on the edges of each plasterboard and the meeting edges of the walls and the ceilings.

The red line indicates the approximate meeting edges of both plasterboard 1 and 2. The edges are coved with adhesives. Only the edges and the joints, not all part of the plasterboards is covered up.

Figure 6.13. Installing the timber cladding

The exterior cladding of the house uses manufactured timber boards. In this case it functions mainly to withstand any weather conditions, especially rain and strong winds.

Figure 6.14. Two quick grips holding the cladding to set properly

Not all the timber claddings have set properly, thus 2-3 ‘quick grip’ is placed for each cladding to hold until it is set and attached properly. The grip functions by holding tightly the cladding material to the surface that it is attached to. After some time, the grip will be removed and the cladding will not fall off.

Some of the doors are not yet attached to a doorframe. In particular, these doors currently stored in the basement level is going to be doors connecting the basement level car park to the stairs to the first level.

Figure 6.15. Doors not yet attached

36!

Once most of the interior part of the house is done (framing and plastering) the workers could start installing cabinets for all the units. The cabinets are timber cabinets and are manufactured before delivered to the site. On site the workers only need to assemble and attach each part.

Based on the cabinets that have been attached and assembled. Those are cabinets with no frame. Furthermore some of the cabinets are modified and chipped to adjust to the measurements thus scaping, smoothing, and finish detailing needs to be done once all work on site is done.

The garage door itself is made of manufactured metal that is delivered to the site directly from the supplier.

The garage door goes through a rail attached to the sidewalls in a specific height.

Figure 6.19.

There are rollers on both sides of the garage doors to help it move in the rails.

38!

SITE ACCESS + SAFETY ACCESS The main entrance / access point to the site is through the end of Foley St. It is both the entrance for the residents as well as the main entrance to the basement level car park. This is where the tiles and parts for the garage door were delivered. The sheets of plasterboard were delivered at the front of the property and then carried up over the ballustrade into the top level apartments.

SAFETY Many site safety and precautions have been done before on site work commences, including lights, PPEs, ladders, scaffolding, and precaution for possible falls.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT ISSUES One issue regards the leisure or resting areas for the workers. This includes eating tables, bathrooms, and areas storing First Aid Kit as well as personal belongings. The area does not seem to be hygienic. Most of the areas are coved with dust and is a part of the storage area in the car park area.

However the workers seem to be able to work well with one another. There are no significant people issue between one another as construction work was done on schedule and the workers cooperate greatly with one another.

REVIEW

This assignment proved to be an invaluable experience for all members of our group. Once forming our group it was noted the wide range of experience in the construction industry within the group, some were working in the industry, some had only theory knowledge and others were partaking in the subject as breadth.

The group made the first site visit on the 13th March where the construction of the stud framing had just begun, the project was followed for almost two months where we left it as lock up stage. Although we weren’t able to follow the project for its whole duration, each site visit the group learnt new things and witnessed significant progress, essentially providing all members with a thorough insight into the construction process of a multi story residential building.

For the period we were visiting the site there were few management issues, and if any they were small. However, a large management issue that the site manager, Phil, informed the group of, was the initial soil report. The site was categorized as a class P site, meaning the soil conditions of the site are unstable and susceptible to movement hence multiple structural engineers were consulted to recommend and devise a plan for the foundations. This delayed the commencement of the project but was critical for ensuring a stable foundation system for the structure. Once receiving approval the multi storey apartment building construction could commence. Other management issues on site involved the limited parking near the site. The site is located at the end of Foley street so there were limited parking spaces at the rear of the site, and there was limited space for vehicles on the site itself. With the busy High Street at the front of the site, contractors had little option but to assume there would be car space for them on Foley Street. Not having parking area on site also proved to be an issue when delivery materials to site, most of the time the contractors would park on Foley Street and carry in the materials.

On some occasions, for example the plasterers had to park on the nature-strip at the High Street end of the building as they would not be able to maneuver the plaster sheets up the stairs from the basement. This issue was able to be resolved by delivering the plasterboard at the front of the site and lifting them over the balcony. Other issues that led to additional time and labour costs were the incorrect disposal of roof tile wastage forcing the site manager to make time to 41!

move the wastage from where the tiles were left to the skip bin at the rear of the property. Another issue affecting the construction timeline was the work on the south side of the building, this area was very narrow and with the scaffolding erect it made it difficult for labourers to work around the area.

Most issues that occurred were unexpected and had to be resolved in an efficient manner, like the potential delay surrounding the brick layers who didn’t work on a particular day without any notice. With this not known and planned for in the project timeline, it threatened the progress of the project and the next stage of construction (core filling). Luckily the brick layers were able to still finish their task in the planned time period and therefore the concreters for the core filling did not have to be rescheduled as this would have caused crucial delays in the project.

Our group was fortunate to witness many main elements of the construction process and see first-hand the way a construction team collaborates and communicates to ensure the tasks and challenges are completed efficiently and effectively as possible. The group saw the framing of the building be constructed, the electrical services, mechanical services and plumbing rough-ins installed. We witnessed the frame become a plastered wall and gathered a sound understanding of how an aesthetic exterior is built through render and tiles. The group was lucky to watch this project as it moved at a fast pace and at each site visit we had major progressions to focus on. Many skills of the employees, employers and contractors of the site were also noted, the way they liaised with one another, no matter what profession they were, to achieve the overall goal. There was a general positive atmosphere on the site, and all contractors were willing to answer questions or assist in any way.

As a group the assignment has exposed all members to critical skills that lead us to become not only a group but also a team. By using the various communication tools our generation has access to and managing our time we were able to organise and liaise with one another to produce a result of our greatest ability.

Phone numbers were exchanged at our first meeting and a Facebook group was made where we could all interact and contribute to any queries that may have arose. With all members having different work and study schedules we were initially limited with convenient times to organise site visits that also suited Phil and the overall site, a common set time and day was finally decided on that suited everyone involved – Friday 2pm. Having a set time proved to be a beneficial outcome for the group as it was consistent and essentially became a part of our 42!

weekly schedule. The initial leadership skills of Jamie Kerr must be noted who secured our site and confirmed a convenient time with Phil. !

A key stage of our success in organisation was the initial planning of the assignment in our first meeting, for example each site diary was allocated so everyone knew who was documenting the visit for that week and the allocated person was aware of their responsibility. Although one person was allocated to each visit, all members took on a duty to photograph and note any changes from previous weeks. This proved to benefit the individual but also the overall group when collaborating diary entries towards the end of the assignment. Throughout the assignment period the group arranged two extra meetings to discuss current visits and assignment progression in detail. Even though we were communicating frequently via our Facebook group, these meetings allowed for a more in-depth discussion and quicker response, hence being more efficient.

From the beginning all group members understood the importance of making the effort to attend site visits, contributing to the Facebook group and attending any additional meetings. The group would meet up at least twice a week, in tutorials where we could chat face to face and confirm the site visit for the next day and at site visits where we could again talk with one another about site progressions and outline our goals for the upcoming week. There were occasions where we had to postpone our site visits, Good Friday being one as Phil and the other workers would not be present at site. Other times were at the beginning of the assignment where we decided to wait a fortnight before doing the following visit as little the project had made little progression. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
