Our brief was to convert an old milk bar into a small modern post office which was next to the owner’s chemist shop. Our client, owning both buildings, required access to both internally. We achieved this by demolishing internal shop walls dividing the Milk bar into storage, toilet & shop.
The brick party wall between the buildings was removed & heavy steel lintel installed to support brickwork above, ensuring accessto both. Major alterations to the party wall were also done in the chemist’s to achieve this.
The Post office required new wall & ceiling linings, new timber polished floors, and was fitted out with Laminated cabinets & point of sales shelving to Australia Post specifications. This required subtle security requirements to be built into the fixtures. The work has transformed the way the client does business, making their environment so much more pleasant & raised the security of staff to both areas.

This required all fixtures to be removed and the floor surface to be mechanically ground to allow for a new epoxy coating throughout for easier cleaning and impervious hygienic conditions.
This area required full wash out so needed covering to floors & the walls to be sealed properly.
Grinding of floors took a week to complete & it was a requirement that minimal dust to escape from the direct area. This was managed with exhaust fans & industrial Vacuum machines.
The epoxy coatings were a special blend to suit client’s colour & non slip requirements.

This was a new construction, consisting of two ground floor shops and two first floor three bedroom apartments, built to meticulous requirements of client.
Apartments & shops were 250 square metres each. Many hours where required to acquire a permit from both Town Planning & Building as the site was found to be flood prone during one in one hundred year floods. This was proven during construction when the surrounding streets & buildings all flooded except our site which was above the flood line.
The construction also posed high danger risks due to very close proximity to high voltage power lines, this required many discussions with service providers, a couple of street power shut downs, tricky wall panel & roofing installations with some handy crane control.
The shops were basic with air conditioning & suspended ceilings throughout with disabled toilet blocks to each, powder room & facilities for tea making. Aluminium shop fronts glazed in 12mm tempered & tinted glass. Servicing of shops via rear roller doors.
The apartments were each fitted with stone benches, full laminated Kitchens with second preparation pantry style Kitchens, three ensuites, fully fitted out separate laundry & large balconies.

Walkways were required to be constructed throughout the ceiling space to enable the servicing of existing Air conditioning and installation of new air conditioning systems to the concert hall. The hall was used throughout the works.
The ceiling was not to be damaged in any way as painting is a major issue due to height above the floor & the colours are numerous, the original light fittings had to be built around & right up too, so this posed issues that required care & proper procedures need to be put in place.
Access was also an issue so most items where craned onto the roof with an opening made in the slate roofing & alterations to the framing made, then all materials made good on completion.

The installation of new air conditioning diffuses were in a heritage ceiling of the concert hall and G & D Will Design and Construction had to be very conscious of this during the work to ensure no damage occurred. It was important to keep it looking in original condition as re painting was not an option.
The work was carried out with ongoing concerts & plays happening during the works. The main challenge was to have scaffold high enough to access the ceiling but being able to remove it when necessary at short notice.
