PROJECT SNAPSHOT

The Homebuyers Centre is a prominent building in the Osborne Park landscape. The third to sixth floors are all open plan office areas serviced by a 2-lift core, mens, ladies and disabled toilets, cleaners rooms, storage, and general services cupboards. It was developed by ABN Group and designed by Meyer Shircore. (This building has since been leased and Homebuyers Centre have re-located to 301 Vincent Street, Leederville as of June 2021)

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

Five weeks of inclement weather posed a threat to the construction schedule. Our agile team overcame the setback to complete the project a month ahead of schedule.

HIGHLIGHTS

It was identified that maximum cost-effectiveness could be achieved through developing the office fit-out in parallel with the delivery of the base building works. Therefore, once the generic aspects of the base building (grid lighting, ceilings, etc.) had been completed, the remaining project fit-out was then integrated with the tenant’s footprint (meeting rooms, staff hubs, etc.) and overall requirements.

FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT

The building comprises ground floor undercover on-grade parking, together with a small office tenancy, lobbies, fire tanks, pump room, transformer room, and storage. The first and second floors consist of suspended concrete carpark levels together with additional storage and EOT facilities for the office occupants.

The striking façade utilises curtain wall glazing, sun shading, louvres, and composite aluminium cladding systems.
