THE BUILDERS CHOICE Mirrabooka fitout
‘‘This resulted in the sub-contractor gaining an understanding of not just the drawings, but of the architect’s design intent and the overall outcome envisaged’’ Commitment to quality The client and the architect required very high standards in terms of project delivery and quality was non-negotiable for both of them. ADCO’s focus in achieving this was to ensure a commitment to quality from the outset in order to ensure no impact on program delivery dates. Due to the program being of only 20 weeks duration, it was essential to complete early procurement. With many long lead items required the ADCO team spent the early weeks of the project confirming selections and securing delivery dates for materials and components. Completing four floors simultaneously required careful planning of trades and fully considered sequencing of works to ensure progress was continuous and at a pace necessary to achieve the tight deadline. Suitable sub-contractor essential The high specification and detailed finishing required for the joinery necessitated the careful selection of a sub-contractor. Once the right team was in place a high level of communication was promoted between the sub-contractor and the architect. This resulted in the sub-contractor gaining an understanding of not just the drawings, but of the architect’s design intent and the overall outcome envisaged. In addition to the high specification joinery package, the project includes a number of feature curved ceilings, primarily on the ground floor. Architects MKDC used a wide range colour on the floors throughout the building, which, together with a number of feature light fittings, gives the final product a top class finish. The

staff hub in particular stands out for the mix of colour, joinery, ceiling finishes and lighting. The fitout included a number of private meeting rooms which required sound ratings over and above standard practice. These presented a considerable challenge to designers in the first instance and then for the site team to implement. $10bn completed projects Established in 1972, ADCO is a leading national construction company which has completed over 3,500 projects across Australia with a combined value of more than $10 billion.
