PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICES 7.6 Governance Approach (continued) Construction (continued) As the strip out teams cascade through the floors the services teams would follow behind installing all the necessary high level services. Upon the completion high level service works can then works can focus on wall and floors. However, after discussion with the C&W Leasing team their preference is for certain areas to be presented as Display areas. C&W Leasing have suggested that one Upper and one Lower floor are prepared with ceilings and carpet. C&W Leasing would also like the Lobby and EoT facilities to be made available early. We have taken onboard this requirement and have made adjustments to the program to facilitate this as it will give C&W Leasing the best opportunity to deliver the financial rewards MEAG are seeking. Team C would concentrate on the End of Trip and Lobby works. Given the scope of the End of Trip and Lobby works we would provide a dedicated team to concentrate on these areas so as to allow for them to be fast tracked. With a specialist Team D focused on the Façade. The façade works will require a specialist Façade consultant and contractor. Further our Town Planner has noted that because the works involve the whole building it cannot be passed as ‘maintenance’. Therefore, in seeking approval via a DA certain thermal efficiency requirements, section J, may come into play thus potentially requiring specific types of glass and aluminium framing section. At the moment most of the façade glassing systems come from China and so detailed talks would need to be held with them to finalise the various cost and delivery options available. Further, with these panels weighting a couple of hundred kgs their method of removal and installation becomes critical and we would envisage that on the western face a mobile gantry and a hoarding at street level would be needed thus incurring a great deal of cost. Architect We begin by creating an in-depth understanding of the building and using this throughout the briefing process to work with the constraints - physical, authority and principal established to inform the design direction and the project stakeholders. Vision Our vision for 143 Macquarie Street is the opportunity to create both a vertical and horizontal Precinct or ‘Third Place’ that builds on the strong character of the existing presence to Macquarie Street and the surrounds. A vision to create an inviting & dynamic environment, that commercially re-positions the building in the at the forefront for commercial development and workspace on Macquarie Street for years to come. 38
