Newpol Construction - Capital Works

Newpol Construction’s project

portfolio continues to grow in size and value. However, we still endeavour to service our valued clients that require fast and nimble project management for smaller-scale works.

STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

We’re proud of the reputation and strong industry connections we have built. The genuine partnerships we have fostered with our clients, architects, consultants, and subcontractors are testament to the sheer volume of complicated and often challenging projects we have successfully delivered across the private and public sector.

The surge in demand for specialist contracting has lead to the creation of our Capital Works Division, to deliver fit-outs, refurbishments, minor construction and maintenance works for existing and new clientele. By establishing this division, we hope to offer confidence for our clients who wish to engage an established business on projects that would often only be dealt with smaller head contractors.

FUTURE COMMITMENT

We have established ourselves within the industry as a builder that delivers timely, cost effective and transparent projects. Our Capital Works Division provides the experiences and resources of a largescale head contractor, with the dedication and focus of smaller scale projects. These projects are often complex in nature, have tight time-frames, and are required to be delivered in live environments. Newpol has compiled a specialised team who excels in delivering these scopes. Every build will be overseen by one of our directors, as well as our Capital Works Manager, ensuring clients always have direct access to our leadership team over the full project cycle.

We are live environment specialists with over 127 delivered projects, with capabilities in Fit-Out, Extensions, De-Fit/Demoliton, Refurbishments, Minor Civil, Landscpaing, Recladding, Insurance and Maintenance Works.

SCOPE

After completing the five-storey commercial office development at 26-28 Hall Street, Newpol completed a $600K fit-out of the level two tenancy, to create our new head office. Initial works required base build reconfigurations to occupy greater tenancy space, this included relocating fire walls and reconfiguring mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layouts. The 850m2 fit-out was conducted over a 5-week period, and encompassed two boardrooms, seven leadership offices, and an open-plan workspace to accommodate up to 35-office based staff. This space also features a commercial kitchen, gymnasium, as well as a tiered seating area for team meetings and training sessions.

ClarkeHopkinsClarke

CLIENT TAFE Victoria

SCOPE

The GOTAFE satellite La Trobe Campus is a purpose built, digitally connected contemporary learning facility, designed to meet the growing needs of the Wallan community. This fit out was an extension of the greater development that houses several tenancies. The fit out was managed as a separate contract, with all works being completed simultaneously to achieve program requirements. The fit out includes colourful quiet pods for collaboration or focused study.

DESIGNER

Danielle Brustman

CLIENT Mitch Studio

SCOPE

The floor of the 1950’s double-storey building was stripped back to reveal its original concrete, which was later polished to achieve the final look. A new reception and retail space, along with wash and cutting stations were installed on the ground floor, featuring hand-coloured oak joinery and mosaic tiles. Upstairs, the unique configuration creates a light and spacious ambience. The salon’s kitchen, bathrooms and a client workstation can also be found on this level.

SCOPE

This fit-out was conducted under a tight budget and time constraints. Newpol was engaged under a Design & Construct contract, so that we could develop the structural elements of the project. The design brief determined that the outlet needed to be built demountable, allowing for the transportation to alternate locations. This was challenging to accommodate, all whilst ensuring the design met the safety standards of the centre’s design managers. The base contractor (Grocon) was still completing their works, adding further complexity by creating extensive live environment considerations.

SCOPE

Promoted by the Melbourne Lord Mayor to reactivate the corner of Spencer and Bourke street in the Melbourne city, this project involved the fitout of the iconic Melbourne venue, which had been shut for nearly 25 years. The project was completed over a 10-week program and faced the challenge of re-newing the premises within what was initially tight budgetary constraints.

ARCHITECT N/A

CLIENT Heritage Victoria PROJECT

SCOPE

This heritage restoration involved returning the former Melbourne icon, built in 1857, to it’s former glory. Exposed to years of water damage, the existing ornate lathern plaster ceiling had collapsed, requiring restoration. After repairing the cause of water ingress, Newpol had to structurally reinforce what remained of the ceiling. Resin casts were taken of all the cornice, moulds and ornaments, to allow for replication and fabrication.

SCOPE

Newpol completed a 360m2 fit-out of the Winning Appliances tenancy at Chadstone Shopping Centre. This involved the management of more than ten individual manufacturers who installed their own display stations, all within a tight ten-week program. Various design elements were featured throughout, including X Bond Polished Render Stone for the floor and walls, Copper Cladding to the front facade, Fabricated Steel Mesh sliding doors at the Entrance, a Green Wall with irrigation, and a Fabricated Aluminum Ceiling Grid.

SCOPE

Newpol built the state-wide roll out of stores in Chadstone, Highpoint, Eastland and Northland Shopping Centres, as well as Werribee Plaza and Melbourne Emporium. Each project was delivered within three weeks, to meet the tight time parameters of shopping centres openings. Therefore, this required extremely high levels of coordination and programming. All joinery was prefabricated to ensure that it was ready for install soon after site possession.
