PROJECT SNAPSHOT

The Intercity Hotel extension is a three-level, 62-unit development within the existing Intercity Hotel complex located on Great Eastern Highway, Belmont.

The tender process to undertake the Inter City Hotel expansion in Belmont was incredibly competitive.

Our project management expertise, cost effective build processes and ability to achieve a high quality residential finish within a fairly tight program and budget were key factors that helped PACT win the tender.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

Mechanical services had to be redesigned to avoid clashes in risers and pipework. Services coordination drawings were made, and PACT worked with the mechanical engineer to produce new design and shop drawings.
Pressure was placed on the program due to the schedule for fit out and completion of rooms (client supplied furniture / fit out items). Careful management of the program helped minimise overall delays to the project.

HIGHLIGHTS

Fast completion of building structure through mix of structural elements (AFS, suspended slabs).
High level of internal finishes: Non-standard modular joinery elements and internal glazing.

FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT

The ground floor consists of car parking and several units, with the remaining units located on level one and two. The structure incorporates a mix of traditional formwork for suspended slabs and columns and a load-bearing AFS internal wall system.

The façade is an aesthetic combination of face brickwork, render and cladding.
